The Danger of Posting About Your Case
Published by Newsletter Pro • www.NewsletterPro.com
NEVER POST YOUR CASE ONLINE THE SABOTAGING TRUTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA
There is no right to privacy. On social media, anything goes. Anyone can access your posts online and use them against you in court. Even if you have your privacy settings securely set, the opposing party, whether it’s the insurance company or another attorney, will find a way around them to dig up any dirt possible! Before you post anything that relates to your case, take a moment to step back and think about how it could potentially affect your case. Better yet, avoid posting anything about it at all! You’ll be glad you were safe rather than sorry!
Technology has morphed our world. Thanks to current advances, we are able to keep in touch with family and friends in different areas of the world, work remotely, read the news with a click of a button, and keep tabs on everyone’s lives through a tiny screen that fits in the palm of our hands. On March 21, 2006, the very first tweet went live on Twitter, and since then, technology has continued to revolutionize the way we communicate, interact with others, and do our jobs. However, there are instances where technology may not be as beneficial as one may think. Here at Malloy Law Offices, we advise all our clients to never post about their cases on social media. Here’s why: You can’t control others. Even just an innocent photo could create mayhem. Even if a friend who has your best interests at heart makes a statement that blames someone else for an auto accident or work injury, they could unintentionally hurt your case. Social media is a tool for investigators. When it comes to personal injury cases, investigators will begin poking around, looking for evidence of your pain, inconvenience, and/or damages (or lack thereof). This is why it’s important to make sure you don’t give others anything to falsely interpret or spin a certain way.
