If you have been injured by a negligent medical professional, you are likely looking to file a medical malpractice claim. When you have made this decision, it is important to know the actions you can take that will improve your chances of winning a medical malpractice claim. One of the best things you can do when filing a claim is to stay off social media. To learn more about how this can benefit you, continue reading and reach out to our experienced New York City medical malpractice attorney.
Why should I avoid social media when filing a medical malpractice claim?
When a physician is facing medical malpractice accusations, they will do everything in their power to disprove the claim against them. This is why it is necessary to take every action you can to set yourself up for success when you are up against such aggressive defense.
Social media can negatively impact your claim. The reason to avoid posting online is that the physician in questions’ insurance company will constantly monitor your social media accounts to use anything you post to potentially contradict your claim. Your social media presence can be easily misconstrued or misrepresented against you. Avoid posting on social media altogether until the legal process is over.
How can I improve my chances of winning a medical malpractice claim?
There are a few other ways to increase your chances of winning a medical malpractice claim. First, you should obtain medical documentation from another medical professional to illustrate your medical condition and how your previous doctor worsened the condition. These documents should include the extent of your damages.
Another way to improve your chances of filing a successful medical malpractice claim is to understand that filing your claim is a time-sensitive matter. You must file your claim within the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in New York which is two and a half years from the date of your incident. This will avoid you being barred from suing.
