One of the biggest questions asked to a lawyer in the social media age is what to do about their accounts if they get injured.
It’s one that Attorney Howard Ankin of Ankin Law has gotten several times over the past few years. When he responds, he usually has three pieces of advice for people.
- Don’t delete previous posts on your accounts – This could end up being problematic to your case down the road.
- Don’t constantly document your life following your injury – Don’t post often about your activities following an injury.
- Don’t have family and friends document your life on social media after your injury – Inform people to limit their posts on your activities until your case is resolved.
Howard along with Ankin Law have extensive experience on this subject having represented thousands of personal injury clients during the rise of social media. The firm is also keeping an eye on new trends across all platforms and how they might impact legal cases in the future.
