Social Media Investigations for Medical Malpractice Claims
At True People Check, we specialize in social media investigations, providing attorneys and insurance companies with the tools they need to uncover fraudulent activity and gather impactful intelligence.
Our expertise in analyzing social media accounts and websites has proven invaluable in medical malpractice cases, where the stakes are high, and the truth is often hidden beneath layers of misinformation.
In this blog, we’ll explore four real-world case studies where our social media investigations uncovered critical evidence in medical malpractice cases involving foot, back, and neck injuries. These cases were brought to us by attorneys working with hospital insurance companies, and the results were nothing short of transformative.
Case Study 1: The Foot Injury That Wasn’t
A plaintiff claimed severe and permanent foot injuries after a surgical procedure, stating they could no longer walk without assistance. 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 shocking: recent photos and videos showed the plaintiff hiking on rugged terrain, dancing at a wedding, and even participating in a 5K run. 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 plaintiff alleged that a botched surgery left them with chronic pain, preventing them from working or engaging in physical activities. The hospital’s insurance company suspected exaggeration and hired us to investigate.
Through meticulous social media investigations, we discovered that the plaintiff had recently posted videos of themselves playing soccer with friends and coaching 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 a fraction of the original demand, thanks to the intelligence gathered 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.
