Hesitant to hire a lawyer fast? In this episode, we'll discuss social media pitfalls and designing a damages strategy.

 

"The information between you and your attorney is sacrosanct. It protects you and is worth its weight in gold." - Richard Duquette

Pitfall of Sharing Your Crash

In today's day and age, many post information on social media about their crash or bicycle accidents. They openly discuss it with people they connect with. Unfortunately, the same act can actually be a case killer.

 

Many eyes will be on you, including the insurance companies. Anything you say can be used against you.

How Insurance Companies React

There are different ways. Insurance companies could demand your private statements in unprotected emails and posts. Any offhand statements can be used to their advantage.

 

In the end, they will use any such information. They could also mislead you into settling for less.

How a Trial Lawyer Can Help

A trial lawyer warns you in advance. He will help you avoid mistakes. He will also help you save money and time.

 

It is often tempting to share your grievances and experiences with others. But without proper caution, it can cost you more than you probably expected.
