Fault & Liability in Car Accidents in NE

Nebraska is an at-fault (tort) state with no no-fault insurance. Here is how comparative negligence, minimum limits, and UM/UIM decide what you can actually recover after a crash, cited to Nebraska statute.

Nebraska uses modified comparative negligence with a 50 percent bar. Your fault reduces your recovery, and if you are 50 percent or more to blame, you collect nothing under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,185.09.
