Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Nebraska?

Accepted Answer

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline Nebraska categories: big-box and grocery (Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Costco, Hy-Vee, Baker's, Super Saver), restaurant and hotel, parking lot, apartment complex, condominium common areas, and shopping-center files. We also cover auto / car accident, truck and 18-wheeler (I-80 east-west spine, ~38% heavy-truck mix), motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, dog bite (strict liability under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 54-601), wrongful death, meatpacking and feedlot workplace (Tyson at Dakota City and Lexington, Cargill at Schuyler and Nebraska City, JBS at Grand Island and Omaha), and product. Most firms buying Nebraska leads from us mix a heavy slip-and-fall and big-box premises base with steady auto and I-80 trucking flow.

Question 2

How does Nebraska premises liability law work?

Accepted Answer

Heins v. Webster County, 250 Neb. 750, 552 N.W.2d 51 (1996) is the modern statement. The Nebraska Supreme Court abolished the common-law invitee/licensee distinction and imposed a single duty of reasonable care to all lawful visitors. Trespassers remain a separate (lower) duty category, so Nebraska is a two-tier framework (lawful visitors vs. trespassers), not the traditional three-status framework. The unitary standard is meaningfully more plaintiff-friendly than tripartite-framework states. Surveillance preservation, prior-complaint discovery, and incident-report status drive Nebraska slip-and-fall outcomes. The 4-year SOL gives more development runway than typical 2- or 3-year states.

Question 3

How much do Nebraska premises liability and slip-and-fall leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Nebraska premises and slip-and-fall lead pricing tracks the Google Ads auction. Personal injury commercial-intent CPCs across Nebraska generally run $40 to $150, with Omaha (Douglas) and Lincoln (Lancaster) at the top end and Grand Island, Kearney, North Platte, and rural counties meaningfully lower. Our published Nebraska pricing is $125-$655 per exclusive lead by case type ($360 for car accident (MVA, including motorcycle and pedestrian), $540 for commercial MVA (trucking, rideshare, bus), $655 for wrongful death, $195 for premises liability, and $125+ for workers' compensation), flat and the same for every firm, with no minimums or contracts (see the pricing section above).

Question 4

What is the statute of limitations for Nebraska personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

Four years from the date of injury under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207 for most personal injury claims, including premises, slip and fall, dog bite, auto, and product. This is among the longest general PI clocks in the country (most states are 2 or 3 years). Wrongful death runs on a separate 2-year clock from the date of death under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-810. State Tort Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 81-8,209 et seq.) requires written claim to the Risk Manager within 2 years of accrual under § 81-8,227. Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 13-901 et seq.) requires written-claim presentment before suit and caps damages at $1,000,000 per person and $5,000,000 per occurrence.

Question 5

How does Nebraska's 49% rule comparative fault rule affect premises and PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Nebraska applies modified comparative fault under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,185.09 in the "less than 50%" form (the 49% rule). A plaintiff is barred if her fault is equal to or greater than the total negligence of all defendants; operationally a plaintiff at exactly 50% is barred. Damages are reduced proportionately for any plaintiff fault below the bar. The same rule governs premises, dog bite, auto, and most negligence claims. Borderline-fault Nebraska PI leads (slip-and-fall with prior wet-floor warning posted, premises files where plaintiff partially ignored a marked hazard) are flagged at intake for additional context, with the 49/50 line as the critical threshold.

Question 6

Does Nebraska cap PI noneconomic damages?

Accepted Answer

No general cap on PI noneconomic damages on standard premises, auto, or non-med-mal cases. Medical malpractice damages are capped at $2,250,000 TOTAL (economic plus noneconomic combined) for occurrences on/after 1/1/2015 under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-2825. The med-mal cap does not apply to general PI. **PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARE PROHIBITED ENTIRELY in Nebraska under Nebraska Constitution Article VII § 5** (Distinctive Printing & Packaging Co. v. Cox, 232 Neb. 846 (1989)). Nebraska is one of only ~4-5 states (with Massachusetts, Washington, and Louisiana) that bars common-law punitive damages. The only exception is federal causes of action like 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Question 7

Do you handle Nebraska meatpacking and feedlot workplace files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nebraska's beef industry concentrates significant third-party workplace exposure outside the workers' compensation exclusive remedy. Tyson (Dakota City, Lexington), Cargill (Schuyler, Nebraska City), and JBS (Grand Island, Omaha) meatpacking and feedlot operations drive concentrated workplace and third-party PI files. Confined-space deaths, equipment-defect claims, and chemical-exposure files are recurring patterns. We screen meatpacking files for direct-employer status (workers' comp bar), non-employer co-tortfeasors (equipment manufacturers, contractors, premises owners), and contracting-relationship analysis at intake.

Question 8

How does the Heins v. Webster County premises framework change the calculus on Nebraska files?

Accepted Answer

Heins v. Webster County, 250 Neb. 750, 552 N.W.2d 51 (1996) abolished the common-law invitee/licensee distinction and imposed a single duty of reasonable care to all lawful visitors. Property owners no longer get the lower licensee duty when a social guest, business invitee, or other entrant is on the property with permission; all non-trespassers are owed reasonable care under the circumstances. The trespasser exception remains (only the duty to refrain from willful or wanton injury). The unitary standard meaningfully expands premises liability versus the tripartite-framework majority of states (Texas, Missouri, Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas).

Question 9

Are your Nebraska leads pre-screened against the 4-year SOL and the § 13-901 cap?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Nebraska lead is screened for SOL position under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207, representation status, injury, and 49% rule comparative-fault sanity check under § 25-21,185.09. Premises files include surface-condition context. Auto files include I-80 corridor and FMCSA context where applicable. Public-entity leads are flagged at intake for the Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act $1M-per-person / $5M-per-occurrence cap under § 13-901 et seq. and the State Tort Claims Act 2-year notice requirement to the Risk Manager under § 81-8,227. Med-mal leads are flagged for the $2.25M total-damages cap under § 44-2825.

Question 10

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
