After a car accident, you may want to let friends and family know what happened and how you’re feeling. However, avoid using social media to communicate this, as insurance companies scour it to try and minimize any of your injuries. Further, social media posts can harm your car accident claim, no matter how innocent or well-intentioned. Insurers and the defendant’s lawyers will twist simple statements to prove you are either exaggerating or lying about your condition. You could also inadvertently post a message that makes it seem you were responsible for the collision.
