How Social Media Can Affect Your Injury Claim

What you post online after an accident can be used against you. Insurance companies and defense attorneys may review your social media to challenge your claim.

Examples of Problem Posts

• Photos showing you being active while claiming injury
• Statements downplaying your condition
• Posts that contradict medical records

How to Protect Yourself

• Set accounts to private
• Avoid posting about the accident or your recovery
• Ask friends not to tag you in photos

When in doubt, stay offline until your case is resolved. Always assume anything you post could be seen by the other side.
