Posting on Social Media About Your Car Accident
If you’re like most people, you have several personal social media profiles. In fact, it can be difficult to operate in society without being on social media. You may use it to keep up with recent news, what’s happening with friends and family, or just to post funny pictures. In some cases, a potential employer may even look at your social media to get an idea of who you are.
While social media has its benefits, it has caused many people to overshare with people who, in some cases, are practically strangers. We crave those likes and comments on our posts (so much, in fact, that social media has many of the same effects as addiction).
For regular social media users, it’s common knowledge that the best-performing posts are those that are about something amazing happening — or something tragic. This includes car wrecks. You may be tempted to share all the details of your collision on social media, but before you do, consider what our Atlanta car accident attorneys have to say on the matter.
At Rafi Law Firm, we’ve seen too many car accident cases get derailed by what a client posts on social media. So before you tell your whole story to Facebook, consider these tips:

What to Do After a Car Crash
1. Don’t Post Anything About the Wreck
2. Avoid Possibly Incriminating Posts
3. Know Who is in Your Friend List
We know, this can feel like putting duct tape over your mouth. But even a simple post like, “Just wanted you all to know that I was in a wreck, but I’m okay!” can be used against you by the insurance company’s lawyer. After all, if you’re okay, you aren’t injured, and therefore don’t deserve compensation.
When your case is underway, don’t post information about it. No one on your social media needs to know how much compensation you’re seeking, how you’re doing, or even who your lawyer is while the case is ongoing. Anything and everything you post could possibly be used against you.
