Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Omaha
Nebraska's Hospital-Medical Liability Act caps total medical malpractice recovery at $1.75 million per occurrence — $500,000 from the defendant, with amounts above that paid by the Nebraska Excess Liability Fund. For catastrophic birth injuries where lifetime care costs exceed this cap, Omaha families should consult an attorney about whether any claims can be pursued outside Nebraska's cap framework. The 2-year statute of limitations begins running immediately, with minor tolling provisions for the child's claim.
