Social Media and Personal Injury Lawsuits: What You Post Can Cost You
In the age of likes, shares, and instant updates, it’s second nature to post about daily life — even the difficult parts. But if you’ve been injured in an accident and are pursuing a personal injury claim, your social media feed can quickly become a legal minefield. At <strong>Lockamy & Associates</strong>, we’ve seen it happen time and again: a client posts something they think is harmless — a beach photo, a gym selfie, or a joke about "feeling better" — and suddenly, the defense uses it to challenge the severity of their injuries. Insurance companies are watching. So are defense attorneys. And yes, your posts can be used against you. Let’s break down how it works — and how to protect yourself.
AI Dashcams and Car Accidents: Can Your Own Car Footage Be Used Against You?
As artificial intelligence continues to weave itself into our daily routines, one innovation is quietly changing how car accidents are investigated: AI-powered dashcams. These smart devices do more than just record the road — they detect collisions in real-time, monitor speed and GPS location, and even upload footage to the cloud. While many drivers install them for protection, that same footage can just as easily work against you if you're not careful. At Lockamy & Associates, we’ve handled an increasing number of personal injury cases in New York where dashcam data — often from the client’s own vehicle — became a critical piece of evidence. Sometimes it helps. Other times, it backfires. Here’s what every driver needs to know.
Hidden Injuries After an Accident: Why You Should Never Settle Too Soon
When someone’s been in an accident, there’s a common reaction: “I’m fine.” Maybe just a few bruises, maybe a stiff neck. You get up, exchange information, go home — and assume the worst is over. But sometimes, the worst is just beginning. At Lockamy & Associates, we’ve seen far too many cases where a client didn’t know how badly they were injured until it was too late. Not because they ignored it — but because their injuries were hidden. And by the time the pain set in or the diagnosis came, they had already signed paperwork with an insurance company that offered far less than what they were entitled to. Here’s what you need to know.
