Social Media and Your Personal Injury Claim:

What You Need to Know

If you’ve filed a personal injury claim, be cautious about what you post on social media. Insurance companies actively monitor claimants’ online activity, looking for any evidence that contradicts their reported injuries. Even if your profiles are set to private, insurers may still access your content through friend requests, followers, or private investigators.

Any post that conflicts with your claims—whether it’s a photo, video, or status update—can be used against you. If your online activity suggests you’re less injured than reported, it could severely impact your case. To protect your claim, consider limiting social media use until your case is resolved.
