Statute of Limitations
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-224 provides a 4-year limitations period for product liability personal injury claims — among the longer windows available in U.S. states. The discovery rule applies, tolling the period until the plaintiff knew or should have known of the mesh-related injury and its cause. Nebraska also maintains a 10-year statute of repose from the product's sale, which may limit recovery for the oldest implants. Nebraska cases typically transfer to MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
