One More Thing NOT to Do After Being Injured in a Car Accident

Be careful on Facebook; you may not always be amongst “friends”  
 
For most, it is no surprise that insurance companies are using Facebook and other social network sites to keep tabs on claimants; however, many would be surprised at the lengths the insurance companies will go in using content found on the Web to deny claims. Here is a recent story out of Canada where a woman was denied disability benefits solely because of pictures that were uploaded to her social network. The moral of the story; be extra careful about what content you place on Facebook and other social network sites, regardless of your privacy settings; and do NOT place photos of yourself doing the limbo at your local bar’s beach bash while you have a pending insurance claim for an injury to your lower back.
