Protecting Your Maryland Personal Injury Claim amid Social Media

One way to protect your Maryland personal injury claim is by watching what you say, orally and on social media sites. By all means, do not admit fault, do not apologize, and don't say anything like, "I might have been going slightly over the speed limit."

Social Media and Your Maryland Personal Injury Claim

When your injury attorney in Annapolis, Maryland, advises against discussing your claim with anyone, this includes social media.

To protect your Maryland personal injury claim, you should: 

• Use private settings - but keep in mind that private settings are far from 100% secure.
• Continually monitor your profile - beware of questionable photos, comments or videos from friends.
• If you find any questionable photos, comments or videos, delete them -however, anything you delete can still be found in cyber space and used to damage your Maryland personal injury claim.
• Avoid writing any comments - don't post anything you wouldn't want the jury, judge, insurer or defense lawyer to see.
• Suspend or limit your social media accounts - while your claim is ongoing. 

Your actions will be greatly scrutinized during your personal injury claim. It's critical that you watch what you say on Facebook and Twitter. Your friends may not be the only people monitoring your profiles. To learn more about protecting a personal injury claim, please visit our article library.
