Many who have recently been in a car accident, perhaps after leaving the emergency room, will take selfies and post them afterward on social media. It is understandable to want to do that. This allows friends and family know that you have lived after the car accident, but you have got to keep in mind those things can be used against you later, whether it is in a court room or with a claims adjustor that is handling the claim.
If you have photos posted of you smiling the day after the accident telling everybody you are great, they are going to question how injured you really were, and that is going to come up. So, if you are inclined to take pictures and post them to tell everyone that you are okay, either restrain yourself or make sure that you are putting it in generic-enough terms so it is not something that can be easily misconstrued against you.
