Perhaps You Shouldn't Post: Social Media Posts Can Trip Up Worker's Compensation Claims
If you're filing for or are receiving worker's compensation due to an injury, be very careful how you manage your social media accounts. Your posts are as public or private as you make them, and worker's compensation investigators take full advantage of any public posts to find a reason to pull benefits from people who appear to be frauds. Unfortunately, you can get caught in the crossfire if you aren't careful about how you phrase your posts.

While public defenders are of course honorable attorneys, they often can not focus as much on any one client as a private criminal defense lawyer can.
