Many people turn to social media to share life updates, but few realize that those posts can influence a personal injury case. A photo or comment that feels harmless among friends might later be presented by an opposing legal team as evidence intended to challenge credibility. Insurance adjusters and defense attorneys often review social platforms for information that could be used to minimize a claim.

Social media can sometimes support a case when posts show the disruption an injury has caused in daily life. At the same time, a smiling photo, vacation update, or casual remark about improvement may be interpreted in a way that downplays the seriousness of an injury. Even seemingly insignificant posts can create uncertainty in court and complicate the process of securing fair compensation.

At Meyers & Flowers, our trial-ready approach includes thoughtful guidance on issues such as social media use. We encourage clients to consider how their online presence may be perceived and to exercise discretion in what they share publicly. This type of preparation helps ensure that personal information is not taken out of context or used unfairly against them.
