A: No, it’s never a good idea to post anything about your accident or injuries on social media. Insurance companies are known to investigate personal injury claims by searching through social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Yelp. Even if your posts are set to “private,” insurance companies can still find ways to access them. Posting about your accident or injuries can potentially harm your case and result in the insurance company denying you compensation. To protect your case, we recommend maintaining a private profile if possible, or deactivating your social media accounts altogether. If you must use social media, do not post anything about your accident or injuries, and be cautious about what you share. We provide our clients with a handout on social media, which includes tips on how to protect your case.
