After a crash, everyone tells you there is no rush. The adjuster says they are still reviewing. A friend says wait until you feel better. Waiting feels like the safe choice — in an injury case, it is usually the expensive one.
Every claim has a filing deadline, and how long you have depends on the kind of claim and who you are suing. But the deadline is only the hard stop. The real damage happens earlier: vehicles get repaired or scrapped, security video records over itself, a truck's electronic logs age past their retention schedule, witnesses move and forget, and gaps in your medical treatment become the insurance company's best argument that you were never that hurt.
Our new post explains what disappears while you wait, why treatment gaps matter more than people expect, and the practical steps to take now.
