Why Do You Need a Defective Product Attorney in Nebraska?
Nebraska adopted strict products liability under Restatement (Second) § 402A in Kohler v. Ford Motor Co. (1971). Nebraska has a 10-year statute of repose for product cases under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-224(2). The state historically used a slight/gross comparative negligence rule, but now applies modified comparative fault with a 50% bar under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,185.09. The 4-year statute of limitations runs under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-224(1). Nebraska’s ag-equipment manufacturing (Behlen, Lindsay, Valmont Irrigation) and meatpacking sectors generate frequent product cases.
