Nebraska Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, NPTCA One-Year Notice, and Common Pitfalls
Nebraska's general personal-injury statute of limitations is four years under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-207. The traps: a one-year written notice requirement under the Nebraska Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 13-919) and the State Tort Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 81-8,212), modified comparative fault with a 50% bar under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-21,185.09, and a separate medmal SOL under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-222.
