Nebraska Waiver and Release of Personal Injury Claim, also known as an Injury Release Agreement, is a legal document used in the state of Nebraska to release a person or entity from liability arising from a personal injury. It is typically used when a person wishes to settle or resolve their injury claim and waive any future legal action associated with the incident. The Nebraska Waiver and Release of Personal Injury Claim allows the injured party, also known as the releasing party or claimant, to relinquish their right to seek further compensation for any injuries, damages, or losses sustained. This document serves as an agreement between the claimant and the liable party, whether it be an individual, a company, an organization, or any other entity responsible for the incident.
