Today\u2019s world is dominated by social media.\u00a0 Many clients do not realize, however, that social media can have an adverse effect on a short term\/long term disability<\/a><\/strong> claim.\u00a0 There has been an increasing trend by insurance companies to use social media, in part, to deny an individual\u2019s disability claim.\u00a0 It is an important trend that clients need to be aware of.<\/p>\n

In one of my recent cases, the insurance company used the client\u2019s social media pages to deny his claim asserting that his reported activity restrictions were inconsistent with the level of activity shown on his social media pages.\u00a0 The insurance company stated that the level of activity shown on the social media pages demonstrated that the client should be able to maintain full-time employment on some level.\u00a0 In that case, the social media activity had a negative impact on his case.<\/p>\n

If you are an individual who has or anticipates having a short term\/long term disability claim, it is important that you pay close attention to your social media accounts.\u00a0 Even if your page is private, there is a possibility that the insurance company can access your page.\u00a0 It may not be a bad idea to disable your social media accounts entirely.\u00a0 If you make the decision to stay on social media, be cautious of what you post and where you \u201ccheck in.\u201d\u00a0 While a post may be while you are having a \u201cgood day\u201d where your disability is not incapacitating you, the claims person at the insurance company who is reviewing at your social media posts does not know that.\u00a0 All the claims person sees is a claimant performing activities that are inconsistent with their reported restrictions without the surrounding context.\u00a0\u00a0 You do not want social media to be the reason that your claim for short term\/long term disability benefits is denied.<\/p>\n

If you have a denied short term or long term disability claim, please do not hesitate to contact me at 864-242-6200 or llouzri@fosterfoster.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
