If you are worried about old social media posts during a workers’ compensation claim, do not panic and start deleting.

Deleting posts after a claim has begun can create additional legal issues.

Instead, preserve existing content, stop discussing your claim online, review your privacy settings, and talk to your attorney if you have concerns.

The goal is not to hide evidence. The goal is to protect yourself from misunderstandings and avoid creating new problems.

If you have questions about social media and your Pennsylvania workers’ comp case, call Dugan & Associates at 412-353-3572.

A single photo or video clip rarely tells the whole story.

When surveillance becomes an issue, it is often presented alongside medical evidence, testimony, vocational evidence, and legal strategy. That is why experienced legal guidance matters.

If you have been injured at work and are concerned about surveillance, social media, or how an investigation may affect your benefits, contact Dugan & Associates for a free consultation at 412-353-3572.

What if you think an investigator is watching you?

Stay calm. Continue normal activities. Follow your medical restrictions. Do not confront investigators. And let your attorney know.

Trying to interfere with surveillance or suddenly changing behavior just because you suspect you are being watched can create more problems.

Surveillance is not only about hearings and petitions. It can also affect settlement negotiations.

The insurance company may believe surveillance strengthens its position and lowers the value of your case.

But surveillance can also be incomplete, misleading, or taken out of context. An experienced attorney can help explain the bigger picture.

Surveillance is not only used to try to stop benefits.

Insurance carriers may also use it to argue that benefits should be reduced.

If the insurance company claims surveillance shows you can do more than your restrictions allow, it may file a Petition to Modify or Suspend Benefits.

That can involve arguments about your earning capacity, available jobs, or ability to return to some type of work.

If your benefits are being challenged, do not ignore it.

Dugan & Associates helps injured workers fight attempts to reduce or stop workers’ compensation benefits. Call 412-353-3572.
