Facebook, MySpace and Twitter in personal injury lawsuits
Individuals involved in a personal injury lawsuit, should resist the urge to post updates, pictures or videos on sites such as Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. While there are undoubted benefits to staying “connected” online, recent evidence suggests that insurance companies and other investigative agencies are monitoring social networking sites, complying information to defend or deny a plaintiff’s claim. Anyone currently involved in a personal injury lawsuit must take precautions to limit the amount of information a potential investigator can see. Be warned. What may seem like a harmless “tweet” or an innocuous blog could inadvertently jeopardize your claim.
