Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

Can an insurance adjuster use my social media profiles to dismiss my Georgia personal injury claim?

A: Even if you think your social media profiles are privacy protected, there's never a 100% foolproof way of keeping information safe on the Internet. If you seek help from a Lithia Springs injury lawyer when filing a Georgia personal injury claim, you'll be warned of the dangers of social media use during the insurance adjuster's review.

Social media profiles can be privacy locked, but that doesn't mean insurance adjusters can't try several methods to gain access to your content. They may attempt to connect to other people you are friends with, which can sometimes allow them to see your status updates, pictures and location check-ins. There have even been cases when adjusters try to add you as a connection to view your profile information!

Once they gain access to your account content, they will look for any evidence that your injuries were not as severe as you claim, or that your own negligence contributed to the cause of the accident. This means that while you may respond to concerned comments on your status with "Oh, it's not that bad," your insurance adjuster will document that statement as evidence to be used to potentially deny your claim.

Other social media interactions that could lead to evidence resulting in denial of your Georgia personal injury claim include:

location posts showing you at recreational activities;
checking in to an alternate location when you should be at a therapy session;
posting pictures of physical activity you claim to be unable to do due to your injuries; and
status updates mentioning any personal negligence or fault in causing the accident.

Before you file your Georgia personal injury claim, you should gain an understanding of how insurance claims adjusters gather evidence for denial of claims. A Lithia Springs injury lawyer can be your best guide in protecting yourself from unintentionally damaging your claim before you even file.
