How Social Media Can Impact Your Personal Injury Case

Published on: September 16, 2025 | By Dietrich Law Firm P.C.

In a world where writing a social media post is often more effective than calling customer support, you may not think twice about taking to the internet after an accident.

Platforms like Facebook and Instagram make it easy to keep friends and family informed and up-to-date on your recovery. You might even be tempted to write a negative review for a negligent landlord or reckless contractor, hoping your experience will help keep others safe.

However, regardless of your intentions, discussing an accident on social media can have serious repercussions. If you file a lawsuit, the defendant’s insurance company will almost certainly scour the internet for new pictures and comments, taking every opportunity to twist your words against you. Without the proper representation, your case could end in shambles.

If your child was seriously injured in an accident that was not their fault, deciding to go to court is often easier said than done.

Even if you are confident that the law is on your side, filing claims, sifting through paperwork, and keeping tabs on a dozen different deadlines is exhausting, especially when your mind is on your child and their future, not insurance negotiations and fine print.

You do not have to choose between your child’s rights and your family’s time to heal.

However, even when burns are accidental, they cannot—and should not—always be blamed on the victim. In some cases, family friends, property owners, and event organizers assume a measure of responsibility for your safety when they put you near anything that could cause serious injury. If their negligence caused your accident, they could be liable for its costs.

5-20-25-Paragard-IUD-300x200 You should not have to think twice about taking your reproductive health into your own hands, but for thousands of women across the country, choosing a Paragard IUD came with a host of hidden risks.

Paragard, sold under the brand name ParaGard®, is a non-hormonal intrauterine device. Most Paragard IUDs are small, T-shaped frames partially encased by copper wire. The copper heavily restricts the movement of sperm and can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years after installation.

However, while most Paragard IUDs cause no significant complications, many women have reported serious injuries after their intrauterine devices failed. These injuries range in severity and are associated with medical problems including internal organ damage, lacerations to the cervix, and, in some cases, infertility.

In cosmetics and baby powders, this can help keep skin dry and prevent rashes.

However, talc’s unique characteristics are also a potential source of danger.
