Statute of Limitations

Montana has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (MCA § 27-2-204). Montana follows pure comparative fault — recovery reduced by fault percentage. Claims against Montana DOT or other state entities require a written Notice of Claim within 2 years (MCA § 2-9-301). Montana's Glacier and Yellowstone area mountain passes create extreme braking conditions for commercial vehicles.
