government negligence

If you want to file a claim against the federal government, the state of Nebraska, the city, or county you believe to be at fault, you will have to do so within a certain time limit. Although some states only allow claims to be made within 30 days after the accident, Nebraska allows two years. On a county, city, and school district level, injured parties instead have one year to file a claim.
If you miss the deadline, your case may not be completely washed up. If you didn’t realize at the time that a government entity could be to blame, you may be able to file a late claim if you can present good reason for the delay. Missed deadlines should never be the reason not to file a claim, even if late filing does make the process more difficult for injured parties.

In order to sue the government, it must be determined that specific errors and flaws alone led to an injury. Because most roads are maintained by the state (or a lower level agency), lawsuits must navigate the STCA.
