Description
Find out how to effectively and legally use social media as evidence in workers compensation claims.
In workers compensation claims, one of the first stages in determining compensability comes from the history provided directly from employees. The word of employees in describing their work injuries and medical history is not always identical to the hard facts. Today, we live in a world dominated by ever developing technology. Whether we realize or not, the digital age exposes our deepest and most private moments both from the past and in real time to the world at large. This presentation is designed to address the role social media in properly defending against workers compensation claims within the confines of the legal system.
