Can insurance follow me or check my social media after a claim? - Answer by Samantha B. Cohn

Insurance companies employ private investigators that regularly track claimant’s activities. While sending an individual to physically follow, someone is usually reserved for higher value cases, it is incredibly easy for these investigators to access your social media and messages even if it they’re private. They can even get a hold of deleted posts and messages. It’s best to avoid posting on social media after an accident because cherry picked posts and messages can be taken out of context and used against you. This is a perfect example of a situation for which you should consult an attorney regarding any posts you made or what to avoid doing moving forward.
