Is the insurance company watching my social media?
Assume every public post is being read, and assume it will be presented in the least favorable light possible.
What gets used. A photograph at a wedding becomes proof you can stand for hours. A vacation post becomes proof you can travel. Tagged photos, comments, check-ins, and posts by other people about you all count — and you don't control those.
Context disappears. A picture of you smiling at a barbecue doesn't show that you left after twenty minutes because your back seized. The photograph is what gets shown.
What to do. Stop posting about your activities, your health, and the crash. Don't discuss the case at all, including in private messages, which are discoverable.
What not to do: don't delete existing posts. Deletion after a claim arises can be characterized as spoliation of evidence, and that's a worse problem than the post. Set accounts to private and stop adding to them.
Tell your family and friends not to post about you or tag you.
Set it private and stop posting. Don't delete anything. ---
