The statute of limitations might be the most critical legal concept you've never fully understood – until now. This eye-opening episode breaks down the invisible deadline that governs every injury case and could potentially erase your right to compensation completely.

Rob Taramina delivers a compelling explanation of how these legal deadlines work, varying significantly by state and case type. Using New York as an example, he reveals how quickly these windows close: three years for car accidents, two years for wrongful death, and potentially just 90 days when government entities are involved. Most crucially, he emphasizes that the clock starts ticking immediately on the date of your accident – not when treatment begins or pain develops.

The consequences of missing these deadlines are severe and permanent. Insurance companies gain absolute power to deny claims, even experienced attorneys cannot help, and your legal leverage evaporates completely. Rob dismantles dangerous myths that lead people astray: the belief that ongoing medical treatment extends your time to file, that insurance companies will contact you when ready to settle, or that you only need legal help when your situation deteriorates.
