01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Nebraska?

Nebraska imposes a 4-year statute of limitations for product liability claims (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-224) and applies the discovery rule for latent pharmaceutical injuries. Nebraska courts apply Daubert reliability standards for expert testimony under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-702. Nebraska's 4-year SOL is among the more favorable in the Midwest. A lawyer can confirm yours.

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 a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under the UCC product liability framework, though the general tort SOL is 4 years. Nebraska courts apply Daubert under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-702. Nebraska Zantac claimants with qualifying cancers should consult counsel promptly. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts.
