In Nebraska, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, including those involving military and VA entities, is generally two years from the date of the alleged act or omission. However, if the issue is discovered later, the claim can be filed within one year from the date of discovery. There is a maximum limitation period of ten years from the incident date. It’s crucial to consult with an experienced attorney to ensure proper timing. You can find more detailed information on our VA Medical Malpractice Settlements page.
While the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) does not impose federal caps on damages, Nebraska law limits noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases to $2.5 million. However, understanding how these caps apply in conjunction with federal claims can be complex. It’s advisable to consult with legal experts in Nebraska who are familiar with both state and federal laws. Explore more about this on our VA Tort Claim Payouts page.
