Toronto, May 17, 2016 - Social media is becoming more important in personal injury cases as judges use the publically available information to validate the claimant's statements. The distorted nature of social media means that claimants may find their cases either supported or undercut by their online presence.
Pace Law Firm, an experienced personal injury practice, advises clients on the influence that social media has on any claims in today's connected world. Nancy Young, a personal injury lawyer with Pace Law Firm, has this to say: “The only way to avoid the potential of your social media accounts becoming an issue is to delete all accounts upon signing on with a personal injury firm.”
With over 75% of Internet users active on social media, these platforms are filled with content that can either support or damage a claimant's case. This includes posts, videos, pictures and check-ins that counter claims of depression or injury. In fact, insurance companies invest a lot of money tracking down evidence against claimants by digging into their social media activity.
As social networking continues to evolve, so will the laws governing them.
