Injury Victims Beware - Insurance Companies Are Watching You
Even if your social media accounts are restricted to certain individuals and accessible to the public, it is commonplace for insurance companies to request access to an injury victim’s social media accounts as part of the discovery process and download evidence to be used in the case. So, conversations that were thought to be private when made may be accessible to insurance company representatives during the litigation. Accordingly, the injury victim should use great care in posting on social media sites.
