What to Avoid
Avoid posting about the accident, your injuries, or activities. Even innocent posts can be taken out of context.
Best Practice
Set profiles to private, don't accept new friend requests from strangers, and never delete existing posts (which can raise spoliation issues). Ask your attorney for guidance.
