Navigating the Legal Process After a Car Accident in Florida: What You Need to Know

In Florida, if you've been in a car accident, you might be wondering what the legal procedure will include and whether you'll need to appear in court. These are questions that your accident attorney can help answer.  The details of your situation will determine the response to that query.

You'll probably have to appear in court in these situations.  This can be especially true in distracted driving cases where punitive damages are at stake.

Social media posts concerning accidents effectively serve as a public record of the incident. This information can be used against you in court by defense lawyers and insurance companies who will distort your testimony to suggest that you weren't as hurt as you claimed to be or that the accident was your fault. Even a seemingly unimportant statement on Facebook about "feeling okay" following an accident can be used to support the claim that you weren't gravely hurt or reached maximum medical improvement. Furthermore, many social networking sites have tight rules regarding deleting posts, so even if you later realize that you made a mistake, it might be too late to retract your statement.

As an attorney at Tucker Law, I advise clients to completely avoid social media during the claims process because of this.

The fact that anything you say, post, or upload online can be used against you in court is one of the most crucial things to keep in mind while filing an accident claim. This extends to comments you make on news stories, forums, and other online content in addition to posts you make on your personal social media accounts. Additionally, social media might be utilized [...]
