Maine Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Long Six-Year SOL, and MTCA 180-Day Notice

Maine's general personal-injury statute of limitations is six years under 14 M.R.S. 752, one of the longest windows in the country. The traps: a 180-day notice under the Maine Tort Claims Act (14 M.R.S. 8107) for government defendants, the modified 50% comparative-negligence bar under 14 M.R.S. 156, and a $400,000 MTCA damage cap on most government claims.
