No ordinary cap, a total cap for malpractice
Nebraska has no generally applicable cap on injury damages. For medical malpractice, the Hospital-Medical Liability Act caps total recovery at $2.25 million, and that figure counts economic and noneconomic damages together.
Fault follows Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-21,185.09 and 25-21,185.10: 50% or more fault bars the claim, noneconomic damages are several only, and economic damages are joint and several. Claims against local governments fall under the $1,000,000 per-person cap in section 13-926.
