How Social Media Posts Hurt Motorcycle Insurance Claims and Lawsuits

There’s a time to speak up, and there’s a time to stay silent. With social media, users often reveal too much information. Sharing details about vacations, job opportunities, or grievances may seem harmless, but after a job demotion or criminal activity, you might regret it. At All Nevada Insurance Inc., we urge you to be cautious about what you share online. Your followers aren’t the only ones who can access your posts. One critical thing to avoid posting is information about motorcycle accidents in Las Vegas, NV.

Why Social Media Posts About Motorcycle Accidents Are Detrimental

Social media photos, videos, and captions about an accident can be used as evidence against you in a court of law. When filing an insurance claim, these posts can jeopardize your chances of securing compensation. Comments connected to your social media post also count as evidence in court and insurance claims, as they can serve as eyewitness accounts. Responding to those comments further confirms or denies their interpretation of the situation.

What Can You Post on Social Media About the Accident?

Nothing. We strongly advise our policyholders to stay off social media entirely until the case is resolved. Additionally, we recommend avoiding any discussion of accident-related matters on social media.

Even seemingly innocent posts about the accident can be twisted to undermine your claim or lawsuit. For example, simply mentioning that you were in an accident gives the opposing party a name and face to pursue for injuries or property damage. Unrelated posts during the timeframe of the case, such as exercising or socializing with friends, can also be used against you. To protect your case, you should also avoid:

  • Accepting new friend requests
  • Deleting social media posts
  • Making your account public
  • Allowing friends and family to share details about your accident on their social media accounts

At All Nevada Insurance Inc., the phrase "sharing is caring" doesn’t apply in the legal world. Your best chance of success begins with privacy and staying quiet. Contact one of our eight Las Vegas, NV, offices for more information.
