How Social Media Can Sink Your Michigan Injury Claim
A single post can hand the insurer ammunition. Here is how to protect your claim online.
How Insurers Use Your Posts
Adjusters and defense investigators routinely review claimants' social media for photos or posts that appear to contradict the claimed injuries.
Innocent Posts, Twisted Meaning
A smiling photo at a family event can be spun to suggest you are not really hurt — even if you were in pain the whole time. Context rarely makes it into the insurer's file.
Best Practices During a Claim
Pause posting, tighten privacy settings, and never discuss the accident or your injuries online. Assume anything you post may be seen by the other side.
