Understanding Montana's Product Liability Laws

Montana law recognizes the right of consumers to purchase and use products with the expectation that they are safe. In fact, Montana’s strict product liability law contains some of the strongest consumer protections for users of defective products in the United States. These protections are in place for the consumer because the company which designs the defective product is in the best position to anticipate the danger and absorb the cost of the injuries caused by the defective product.

Under Montana’s strict liability law, the liability for a defective product is determined by evaluating the dangerousness of the product, rather than the conduct of the corporation. In other words, just because the dangerous product met industry standards, does not save the company from liability for the injuries it causes to Montana consumers.

Montana Product Liability Statute of Limitations

Montana law states you must file your claim within three years after you sustain an injury, or when the injury should have reasonably been discovered. By missing this deadline, known as the Statute of Limitations, you forfeit your right to obtain compensation for your injuries.

In order to preserve your right to file a product liability lawsuit, it is imperative that you consult an attorney as soon as possible after you have been injured. By immediately investigating your claim and preserving crucial evidence, the Montana product liability attorneys at Hoyt & Blewett PLLC will be prepared to prove your case.

Vehicle makers frequently recall cars and trucks due to defects and you may be entitled to compensation if these product defects cause you serious injuries. Our Montana product liability attorneys have handled cases involving design defects such as unsafe auto rollover bars, malfunctioning seatbelts, dangerous gas tanks, tire defects, and faulty car seats.

Without a thorough investigation, it can be difficult to know for sure if a defective auto part caused your crash, so you should reach out to our firm if you've suffered injuries in any type of motor vehicle accident, including, car, semi-truck, and motorcycle accidents.
