01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Montana?
Montana civil SOL for sexual assault: 10 years from date of assault (Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-216). Minority tolling applies. Montana's extended period reflects legislative recognition of the trauma-delayed disclosure pattern common among sexual assault survivors. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Montana provides a 10-year civil statute of limitations for sexual assault claims under Mont. Code Ann. § 27-2-216. Billings, Missoula, and Bozeman are the primary rideshare markets. Montana does not require fingerprint-based background checks for rideshare drivers. Montana's rural geography means rideshare assaults may involve long, isolated trips with limited bystander presence.
