How Social Media Can Ruin Your Personal Injury Case

March 26, 2025
Introduction: Can Social Media Hurt Your Claim?
After an accident, posting updates on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter might seem harmless. However, insurance companies monitor social media to find anything they can use against you. At Tate Law Firm PLLC, we’ve seen social media posts cost victims thousands of dollars in lost compensation.

Ways Social Media Can Be Used Against You
1. Posts Contradicting Your Injury Claim
Even a simple photo of you smiling can be misinterpreted as evidence that you aren’t really hurt.

2. Location Check-ins
Tagging yourself at a gym, park, or event can be used to argue that you aren’t in as much pain as you claim.

3. Friends & Family Comments
Even if you don’t post, comments like “Glad you’re okay!” from friends can weaken your case.

How to Protect Your Case
✅ Make Your Accounts Private – But remember, insurers may still access old posts.
✅ Avoid Posting About the Accident – Even innocent updates can be misinterpreted.
✅ Tell Friends & Family Not to Tag You – Insurance companies will look at their posts too.
