Whenever a new personal injury client is interviewed in my office, I always address the issue of social media. In short, be very careful what you post on social media.

Last week, as I sat in my car at a red light around dusk, I saw two teens crossing in a crosswalk with the right of way across a big 6 lane road (Main Street, Dunedin).

I hate to admit it, but every once in a while those big billboard lawyers have a good point in their barrage of TV commercials that they seem to pop out like toast. A recent one has a lawyer saying a jury will never hear about the existence of car insurance in a car crash trial as they deliberate about injuries and damages. It’s true. Mostly.
