Yes, and this is something we talk to every client about early on. Insurance companies and defense attorneys routinely review social media accounts looking for anything that could undermine a claim, even posts that seem harmless. A photo of you smiling at a family event, for example, could be misused to argue your injuries aren't as serious as you claim.
A few practical guidelines while your case is active:
- Avoid posting about the accident, your injuries, or your case
- Set your accounts to private, though this isn't a guarantee of protection
- Ask friends and family not to tag you in posts
- Avoid deleting old posts, since that can raise separate legal issues
The safest approach is often to minimize social media activity altogether until your case resolves. An attorney can give you specific guidance based on your situation.
