Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become very popular with people of all ages to communicate with friends and family. Companies use them as a way to stay on top of complaints that their customers may have with their products, and insurance companies have started to use them help them as evidence in personal injury claims.

Obviously, you should not file a personal injury claim under false pretense and should always be mindful of your duty to be accurate and fair on the internet, but in many cases, people have had their cases influenced by things found on their personal page on social media sites.

Insurance companies search for anything you may have written regarding the accident; how it happened, who caused it, and any admissions of guilt. They may review your photos and comments to see what type of person you are in hopes of showing the plaintiff in a negative light. You can make your pages private, but if your case goes to Court, the Judge can order you to produce your social media page. Remember, social media is fun but you must be careful with what you post. If you are in doubt about whether or not your pages could affect your case, speak to your personal injury lawyer about it.
