Statute of Limitations
Nebraska's personal injury SOL is 4 years (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207). Nebraska's medical malpractice act (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-2801) requires pre-suit filing with the Health Care Review Panel — potentially adding 12 months before a suit may be filed. Consult local counsel on whether the medical malpractice panel applies to nursing home negligence claims.
