5 Points of Social Media Usage that Will Destroy an Indiana Injury Claim

Social media usage is open to the public. Therefore, anyone trying to find information to use against you, to revoke your Indiana injury claim, can do so.

After you file an Indiana injury claim, your Indianapolis injury lawyer will provide tips on how to safeguard your social media usage, including posts, comments, pictures, etc.

5 Ways Social Media Usage will Affect Your Indiana Injury Claim

Be aware of the ways social media can negatively affect your claim: 
 

1. Profiles - the defendant may create an undercover account to "friend" you or someone close to you, to recover information to use against you.
2. Public access - if your social media site(s) is not blocked from outside users, they can view your profile and access information.
3. Posts/comments - if you post or comment about your accident, the defendant can print it out and use it against you.
4. Pictures - if you post pictures, are tagged in pictures, or friends post pictures of you, the defendant can find this and use it against you.
5. Harassment - the defendant may use an undercover social media account, and leave harassing questions and comments on your page to get you to speak about your accident and injuries. 

Now that you know the defendant can spy on your social media usage to destroy your Indiana injury claim, the best thing to do is stop or at least suspend your social media usage. Learn more about tips to protect your social media usage by talking to your Indianapolis injury lawyer.
