Facebook, Instagram, <\/span><span id=\"E72\">Snap Chat<\/span><span id=\"E73\">, LinkedIn, Twitter<\/span><span id=\"E74\"> are all platforms that you share personal information on<\/span><span id=\"E75\">,<\/span><span id=\"E76\"> and these platforms are public, despite your privacy settings, when it comes to your lawsuit. A personal injury lawyer in Charleston can also <\/span><span id=\"E77\">subpoena<\/span><span id=\"E78\"> your social media records if they need to, and many defense attorneys will definitely do this in an effort to prove that you aren<\/span><span id=\"E79\">&#8216;t<\/span><span id=\"E80\"> truthful about your injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E81\"><span id=\"E82\">Diminishing the claim of your injury is going to be the main goal of the defendant or insurance company. They want to pay out as little as possible or nothing at all<\/span><span id=\"E83\">,<\/span><span id=\"E84\"> if possible. <\/span><span id=\"E85\">Insurance companies are even known to send spies after plaintiffs to take pictures of them being active or doing something else that can prove that the injury is not as substantial as the lawsuit <\/span><span id=\"E87\">claims, or<\/span><span id=\"E89\"> doesn\u2019t exist at all. This is the main reason why your personal injury lawyer in Charleston will tell you to avoid posting on social media and avoid talking about your case to anyone <\/span><span id=\"E90\">other than the attorney. Even something as small as checking into a certain location, updating your job status, or posting images can affect your compensation on your injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E91\"><span id=\"E92\">When you are working with a personal injury lawyer in Charleston to file a claim, you are going to be <\/span><span id=\"E93\">trying to prove that you have suffered damages such as bodily harm, pain<\/span><span id=\"E94\">,<\/span><span id=\"E95\"> and suffering, disability, loss of ability to function and enjoy your daily life, impairment, mental anguish, scarring, loss of wages, permanent injury, and\/or ongoing medical needs. Posting images <\/span><span id=\"E96\">of yourself doing small things such as taking a walk for a coffee can add doubt to your claim<\/span><span id=\"E97\">,<\/span><span id=\"E100\"> so it is best to stay off social media completely while your case is being handled by a personal injury lawyer in Charleston. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E101\"><span id=\"E102\">If you have suffered an injury and want to know if you can seek compensation, call the <\/span><a id=\"E103\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.peterdavidbrown.com\/contact-peter-david-brown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
