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.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Nebraska has Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha (headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command) and Lincoln Air National Guard base as primary military PFAS contamination sites. Omaha-area groundwater in Sarpy County communities near Offutt has been tested for PFAS. Nebraska's agricultural regions also have biosolids PFAS contamination concerns.
Nebraska personal injury claims are governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207, providing a 4-year limitations period from discovery — more favorable than most states. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Offutt AFB in Sarpy County has documented PFAS from AFFF operations at the STRATCOM headquarters installation. The Bellevue and Papillion communities south of Omaha draw from groundwater potentially affected by Offutt PFAS. Nebraska's extensive agriculture creates biosolids PFAS exposure concerns in rural areas.
