Meaning?

Hi, What is the meaning of you get one bite at the apple? Please note that I know the legal connotation of the sentence, what I don't understand is the relation between one bite of the apple and the concept of not being able to file a case twice or res judicata.

Thanks

It's not a phrase I have heard, but it seems to just be a figurative way of saying you only get one try at something. Here is an interesting discussion. html I've heard You only get one kick at the can , which to me makes more sense since after you kick it the can is gone.
