R emember, the insurance adjuster and oppos- ing attorney on your case will be searching for details regarding you and your claimed injuries. Ideally, it would be best to close your social media sites during your case. This will ensure you and your friends post no damaging in- formation and lessen the possibility of something used against you. 1Check your privacy settings and make your per- sonal information and posts private. 2When uploading photos, be selective. Ask yourself, “Will this help or hurt my case?” Set up filters allowing only friends to see your photo albums. For Facebook users, select "Only Me" for people who can view your tagged photos. 3Accept friend requests only from people you know personally. An insurance adjuster may send you a friend request hoping to gain access to your personal information. 4Don’t join groups with names or discussions which could compromise your claim. Don’t Wreck Your Case on Social Media 5Block all but certain people from viewing your pro- file. In Facebook, you can do this under the Settings. You can do this by selecting "Only Friends" under search visibility. 6For Facebook users, you can remove yourself from showing up in Google's search results, too. Go to your privacy settings page and uncheck the box under Public Search Listing. This is a must. 7Keep your case private. Don’t post any photos of your accident or give any information regarding re- covering from your injuries, or activities which may be construed to be inconsistent with your claimed in- juries. Ask your friends not to post about your injuries and activities. If you send a message, know who you’re sending it to. 30
