What is the deadline in Nebraska?
Nebraska has a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207. The discovery rule applies to toxic exposure injuries, providing a relatively generous filing window for AFFF claimants. 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.

Where would my case be heard?
Nebraska has PFAS contamination at Offutt Air Force Base near Bellevue, the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command. The base has used AFFF for decades in fire training operations, with PFAS migrating into the Papillion Creek watershed and affecting Sarpy County communities. Lincoln Air National Guard Base has also documented PFAS.
