how social media posts can affect your personal injury claim Tag Archives

Even seemingly innocent social media posts may have a negative impact on your personal injury case. Both defense attorneys and insurance adjusters will monitor the social media profiles of plaintiffs, looking for activity that contradicts their injury claims. For example, posts that have nothing to do with your accident can be used against you.

Photos or videos showing you being physically active can contradict claims of constant and severe pain, decreased mobility, or loss of function, and imply that you are exaggerating the severity of the injury.
Check-ins and location tags can lead to questions about how significantly the injury has affected your mobility.
