What you post online after an accident can be used against you. Here is how to protect your case.
Insurers Are Watching
Defense investigators routinely review claimants' public social media. A single photo or comment, taken out of context, can be presented as proof you aren't as injured as you claim.
Common Traps
Vacation photos, posts about physical activity, check-ins, and even friends tagging you can all be twisted. "Feeling great!" posted out of routine optimism can be read as a medical statement.
Practical Steps
Pause posting about your activities, tighten privacy settings, ask friends not to tag you, and never discuss the accident or your injuries online. Do not delete existing posts without legal advice, as that can raise spoliation concerns.
When in Doubt, Ask
A free review can give you clear guidance tailored to your situation so an offhand post doesn't undermine an otherwise strong claim.
