Social Media Investigations for Medical Malpractice Claims
At True People Check, we focus on social media investigations. We help attorneys and insurance companies find fraud and gather important information.
We are skilled at analyzing social media accounts and websites. This skill is very helpful in medical malpractice cases. In these cases, the stakes are high, and the truth is often hidden under layers of misinformation.
In this blog, we will look at four real cases. Our social media investigations found important evidence in medical malpractice cases. These cases involve injuries to the foot, back, and neck. These cases came to us from lawyers who work with hospital insurance companies. The results were truly transformative.
Case Study 1: The Foot Injury That Wasn’t
A plaintiff said they had serious and lasting foot injuries after surgery. They claimed they could not walk without help. The case hinged on the plaintiff’s alleged inability to perform basic daily activities.
Our social media investigations team went to work, analyzing the plaintiff’s public social media accounts. What we found was surprising. Recent photos and videos showed the plaintiff hiking on rough ground, dancing at a wedding, and even running in a 5K. These activities directly contradicted their claims of limited mobility.
The evidence we uncovered was presented in court. The attorney credited our social media investigations with saving the hospital from a costly settlement.
Case Study 2: The Exaggerated Foot Pain
In another foot-related case, a person claimed that a bad surgery caused them chronic pain. This pain stopped them from working or doing physical activities. The hospital’s insurance company suspected exaggeration and hired us to investigate.
We carefully looked at social media and found that the plaintiff recently posted videos. In these videos, they played soccer with friends and coached a youth sports team. Additionally, we found posts where the plaintiff bragged about their active lifestyle and even shared tips on staying fit.
This evidence was instrumental in proving that the plaintiff’s claims were grossly exaggerated. The case was settled for much less than what was originally asked. This was possible because of the information we found through our social media investigations.
Case Study 3: The Back Injury That Disappeared
A plaintiff filed a lawsuit claiming a back injury that left them unable to perform manual labor. They sought significant compensation for pain and suffering.
Our team conducted a thorough social media investigation, scouring platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. We uncovered posts showing the plaintiff lifting heavy furniture during a recent move and participating in a CrossFit competition. These activities were completely inconsistent with their claims of a debilitating back injury.
The attorney used this evidence to challenge the plaintiff’s credibility in court. The jury sided with the insurance defense attorney. Once again, social media investigations proved to be a game-changer.
Case Study 4: The Neck Injury That Didn’t Add Up
In a neck injury case, a plaintiff claimed that surgery left them with chronic pain and limited range of motion. The hospital’s insurance company hired us to investigate the validity of these claims.
Our social media investigations revealed a treasure trove of evidence. The plaintiff had recently posted videos of themselves doing yoga, including advanced poses that required significant neck flexibility. Additionally, we found photos of the plaintiff at a rock climbing gym.
This evidence directly contradicted the plaintiff’s claims. The insurance defense attorney praised our social media investigations for uncovering the truth and saving the hospital from a potentially devastating payout.
