Nail Guns, Brain Injury and Social Media

Man shoots nail into his brain, posts it to Facebook from ambulance

Lawyers are constantly having to deal with what clients post on FB. Clients post inappropriate things on FB all the time. There is a disconnect between the reality of what they say on the one hand in a lawsuit and what they post on FB. Defense lawyers know it as do Plaintiff lawyers. The admissions go both ways and so lawyers on both sides immediately march to FB to see what the other lawyer's client is publicly stating. 

A case that just came to my attention was a drunk driver bragging on FB about how much he's drank and how fast he was travelling before the crash that mangled his passenger. His insurance company paid the limits of $100,000 to the injured passenger.

Get a clue folks, if you're involved in a lawsuit shut down your FB page.
