Hi, I’m Lashonda Council Rogers, your Douglasville, GA personal injury lawyer at Council & Associates, LLC, where our firm truly cares.
We all love scrolling and sharing on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Snapchat—but if you’ve been injured in an accident, your social media activity could seriously harm your personal injury case.
When new clients come to us, we always give this warning: Be extremely cautious about what you post after an accident. While we don’t require you to shut down your accounts, we strongly recommend that you avoid posting about the following:
- How the accident happened
- Details about your injuries
- Conversations with your attorney or the insurance company
- Photos or videos of yourself engaging in physical activities
Why? Because insurance adjusters and defense attorneys are watching. They can—and will—use anything you post to question the legitimacy of your injuries and reduce the value of your claim. For example, if you’re claiming severe injuries but post a photo of yourself hiking, running, or lifting heavy objects, that can work against you in court.
The bottom line: If you’ve been in an automobile or trucking accident, be smart about what you share online.
