Young Girl's Tweets Will Hurt Lawsuit

8/13/2013

     A New Jersey girl who was injured while riding a boardwalk ride will now face skepticism due to her "tweets" in the two years since the accident. The case highlights how important it is to hire an attorney who is familiar with the law and guide you about which information may be used against you. Read more below.

     In this age of social media, it is easy to forget that our lives are being shared in many public forums. As a result, there is more information available to the insurance companies when a lawsuit is filed. They will try to twist it against an injured victim as much as possible. For example, a representative of the company who manufactured the ride had this to say:
"There are no scars in her photos that I can see [on Twitter], and she certainly seems to be enjoying life."
     Even something simple such as tweeting about "enjoying life" will be held against an injured person who brings a lawsuit. Although a person's life may have been completely redirected due to their injuries, insurance companies will use any information they can obtain to make it appear that nothing is wrong. 

     Because the law about social media content usage in a lawsuit can be confusing, it's important to consult an attorney right away about which actions will best protect your rights.
