Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Narbeh Shirvanian talks about social media mistakes to avoid after your accident. He explains that when clients engage the services of The Shirvanian Law Firm, they receive a letter expressing gratitude for entrusting their case to the firm. This letter also provides a set of instructions, including actions to take and things to avoid. A key recommendation is to refrain from posting on social media.

Clients are advised to keep their social media profiles private to prevent insurance companies and investigators from accessing personal content that could be misinterpreted. The concern is that posts showing physical activity or enjoyment could be used to challenge claims of serious injury, even if the client is genuinely experiencing significant pain.

While clients are encouraged to continue with their daily lives, the firm recommends limiting or avoiding social media posts altogether. If clients choose to post, they should be aware that insurance companies and investigators may use the information to support their defense, particularly in cases that proceed to trial.
