Exceptions and details
Raised from $6,000 to $7,500 effective July 1, 2025 by LB139 (2024); before LB139 the limit was $3,500 (Nebraska Supreme Court fiscal note on LB139). Current Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-2802(4) states fixed amounts (exclusive of interest and costs) and contains no automatic adjustment clause; the same limit applies to individuals and businesses. The Judicial Branch's June 20, 2025 release (which also covers the county-court civil limit rising to $70,000) says 'This change is in effect from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030' — recheck after mid-2030. Under § 25-2803: no attorneys (limited exceptions), no assigned claims, only a party to the original transaction may sue, and no party may file more than 2 claims per calendar week or 10 per calendar year.
PI negligence falls under § 25-207(3), 'an action for an injury to the rights of the plaintiff, not arising on contract' (4 years). Several related claims have their own, shorter periods under separate statutes (e.g., assault/battery/libel/slander, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and claims against the State or political subdivisions under Nebraska's tort claims acts), so check the specific claim type.
NSBA's referral service runs on its own dedicated domain (nefindalawyer.com), linked as 'Find a Lawyer' from nebar.com. Listed attorneys charge $50 or less for the first 30-minute consultation; NSBA describes it as a directory it provides and does not endorse listed lawyers.
