Surveillance
Your social media accounts may be under ‘surveillance’ during your Compensation Claim.
Posting about your everyday life may not be helpful to your case.
While you may think that an innocent photo or comment on your FaceBook page isn’t relevant, it may be used by an insurer to investigate just how much your injuries are actually impacting upon your ability to work, socialise and engage in everyday activities.
While you often cannot control what your friends or loved one’s post, there is every chance that these posts may even be used against you in a Compensation Claim.
Photos, words, or even tagged images posted online that are inconsistent with your claim may weaken your claim and create doubt about the extent of your injury.
