Can I challenge the public use of eminent domain?

Yes, you can challenge the public use of eminent domain in Nebraska. The Nebraska Supreme Court has established rules for challenging the public use of eminent domain. These rules state that you must prove that the public use for which the government is taking the property is not a valid public use or that the taking of the property was in bad faith or was done for an illegal purpose. If you believe that the government’s use of your property for their public purpose is not valid, you must file a lawsuit in the county court or district court within 90 days of the government taking your property. In the lawsuit, you must demonstrate that the taking was not for a valid public use or was done with bad faith or illegally. You may also challenge the amount of compensation the government has offered you for your property. The Nebraska Supreme Court rules state that the compensation should be fair and just, and should reflect the value of the property taken. If you believe that the compensation is not fair, you can file a claim in the county court or district court within 90 days of the taking of your property. In Nebraska, the government is authorized to take private property for public use, but those who are affected by the taking may be able to challenge the public use. If you have any questions, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney.
