Like it or not, social media is central to the way that many people conduct themselves in today’s society. While this can often bring good things into your life, adding to and not taking away, social media can be extremely damaging to a personal injury or accident claim case.
It is more than likely that any defending parties will be doing their research on you, and that will probably include searching online for any information that might help their case. So you should be extremely careful about what information you are putting on your social media.
5 Things You Should NOT Do After a Car Accident
1.) Try not to write anything about the accident, what happened, the people involved, photos or how you are both physically and mentally
2.) Don’t accept friend requests from people who you don’t know personally
3.) Don’t answer questions that people ask about what happened, or how you are now
4.) Avoid writing status’s about ‘how you are feeling’ – even by talking about how you are happy today could affect your claim
5.) If you have to upload photos, think about whether it will harm or help your case. You can’t go claiming a back injury when you are posting pictures of you having spent the day ice skating
If you have suffered an accident and are looking for compensation, it is worth also discussing your social media activity with your auto accident attorney to ensure the best results possible.
