Most of us have an account on at least one social media app or website, whether that’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or something else. And while social media may be a convenient way of getting in touch with our friends and family, total strangers can also see your posts, and that may include insurance adjusters.
If you’re in the process of filing a compensation claim, or are considering that you might, that’s the last thing you want. And because your social media posts are considered part of the public record, insurance companies and their lawyers can see those posts without a warrant or subpoena, even if your account is set to private! Insurance companies are motivated to reduce or deny even legitimate claims to protect their profits, and your social media posts could accidentally help them do that.
The best thing to do after an accident, especially if you’re filing a compensation claim, is to stay off social media entirely until your claim concludes.
Sometimes avoiding mention of your accident isn’t enough. Insurance companies and their lawyers have previously tried to argue that when victims continue to post just as they usually would after their accidents, that it proves their mental and physical health weren’t seriously affected by their accidents.
However, because personal injury claims aren’t always wrapped up quickly, you may still want to be able to chat with friends and get updates through social media. So if you do use social media, follow these tips to reduce your risk of accidentally posting something you shouldn’t.
