Should I keep using Facebook during my Pennsylvania personal injury case?

In a word: no. We’d really prefer it if you would stop using social media while your personal injury case is pending. Social media is literally an engine for recording remarks, photos, and video that are taken out of context. Insurance companies and defense lawyers love these sites and make increasingly effective use of the information they find on them to deprive injured people of the compensation to which they would otherwise be entitled. So, no, it’s not a good idea to use social media while your personal injury case is pending.

But we know that this advice may not be practical for many people. We recognize that social media is a growing and increasingly important facet of many of our clients’ lives. So, we’ve posted detailed information explaining how what you’re doing on Facebook (or on some other social media site) right now can be damaging to your case. We’ve also provided five tips to avoid, or at least minimize, the damage.
