The Nebraska workers' comp system
Nebraska disputes go to the Workers' Compensation Court. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. 48-133, a disputed claim must first be submitted to that court before any other court hears it.
Deadlines a Nebraska worker has to meet
Written notice as soon as practicable
48-133 requires written notice to the employer as soon as practicable after the injury, stating the time, place and cause. Lack of written notice isn't a bar if the employer had notice or knowledge of the injury.
Two years to file
Neb. Rev. Stat. 48-137 bars a claim unless the parties agree on compensation, or a petition is filed, within two years after the accident. If payments were made, the two years run from the last payment.
Not legal advice. Check current rules with the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court before relying on them.
