Know your deadline
Nebraska gives you four years to file a personal injury lawsuit (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207(3)).

Who pays
Nebraska is an at-fault state: the driver who caused the crash, through their liability insurance, pays for the injuries and damage.

If you were partly at fault
Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but if your fault is equal to or greater than the total fault of everyone you are suing (50% or more) you recover nothing.
