Why can’t I post pictures on my Facebook profile? The insurance company cannot see my profile because it’s private.

Clients ask this all the time. The truth is that no matter what setting you have on your Facebook profile, there are ways to view your profile and many insurance company’s employ people to do just that.  They scour the internet for your cyber footprint.  If you have pictures of yourself lifting boxes or at the gym but are claiming to be permanently disabled from a car wreck, you lose a lot of credibility.  In general, it is best to keep some matters private, such as lawsuits and injuries.  Don’t risk your case by doing something foolish.  Keep your thoughts and information about your injury to yourself and your lawyer.

Who pays if I incur an injury due to an auto accident or my car is damaged?

If you are to blame for an accident, your liability insurance will pay the other driver for property damage and personal injuries up to your policy’s limits. If you are not at fault, the other driver’s liability insurance pays for your car damage and personal injuries.
