PERSONAL INJURY AND SOCIAL MEDIA
With the advent of social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, it is important that injured victims stay clear of social media until their cases are settled. Insurance companies hire armies of private investigators that scour the internet trying to find everything about you. Everyone loves posting pictures on social media (even yours truly). However, a harmless picture of you posing with your significant other in a Tough Mudder race he ran or you holding your child in the air can be used against you by the insurance adjuster in minimizing your injuries or denying your claim altogether. Never give them the benefit of the doubt. If you are seriously injured in a car accident, slip and fall or any type of personal injury, cut the chord and lay low unitl your case is settled or resolved. The rewards you will get will be definitely worth it in the end. - Personal Injury Attorney, Derick C. Villanueva (LT, USN)
