Statute of Limitations
Nebraska has a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of discovery.
4 years from discovery of injury and PFAS connection
Where to File in Nebraska
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.
