Facebook and Twitter Can Ruin Your Case

Posted By Law Office of James M. Stanley || 28-May-2019

Most of us recognize that what we say or do on the Internet is never truly private. Despite knowing this, many continue to overshare the personal details of their lives with the world. While this is generally harmless to do, it can come back to haunt you in unexpected ways. Now more than ever, the courts are reviewing social media accounts as a means of evidence to support or deny injury claims. Therefore, it is essential you minimize your social media presence on platforms like Facebook and Twitter to ensure you do not unknowingly sabotage your own case.

What Is My Social Media Presence?

A quick search on Google will tell you everything you need to know about your Internet presence. What this refers to is how frequently and in what context you appear online. In a world where social media is unavoidable, you are responsible for taking control of your identity.

How Can Social Media Affect My Case?

If you are constantly updating your social media circles about the details of your life, you are bound to share parts of yourself which can be exploited in the event of an accident. If you are injured at the hands of another, it is almost guaranteed the insurance company will attempt to evade responsibility. For example, an innocent Tweet sent out moments before the crash can indicate a lack of attentiveness on your part, even if the content you shared reveals no details. It’s not always just about what you post, as “liking” a comment or post on Facebook can implicate you as well.

What Can I Do?

Simply put, think twice before you post. The very nature of accidents is their unpredictability, which is why you can never be too cautious in taking the proper steps to protect yourself. You cannot live your life in anticipation of an upcoming accident or injury, but you may consider the importance of withholding information as your greatest asset.

Respected Legal Advocates Diligently Fighting for You

Maintaining your life online has never been easier, and never been more dangerous. This is why at the Law Office of James M. Stanley, we strive to keep you as an informed and up-to-date on the latest strategies being used by insurance companies whose primary goal is to ensure they don’t lose any money off of your injury. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to the negligence or misconduct of another, don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. We are led by compassionate and dedicated personal injury attorneys who won’t give up on you.
