This means  the snapshot they take of your life might not be the most accurate picture  of what&#8217;s really happening.<\/p>\n<p> Just because you play miniature golf with your nephew on his birthday  doesn&#8217;t mean you can stand the whole time or walk smoothly from hole  to hole, but you can bet an investigator will snap the picture of you  celebrating a successful put. <\/p>\n<p>So, what can you do to mitigate the impact of investigators hired by the  insurance company to shoot down your claim for damages you need in order  to cover medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing pain and suffering after  a South Carolina car accident?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Be honest <\/b><br \/> As long as you are honest about your injuries and how they&#8217;re impacting  your life, the insurance company can present evidence and a jury will  be able to accurately see your side of the story. <\/li>\n<li><b>Let yourself heal <\/b><br \/> You don&#8217;t need to hide indoors, but if the doctor says you need to  stay off your feet and you have been missing work, stay away from the  bars and other ruckus venues until the doctor clears you. It&#8217;s what&#8217;s  best for your health and for your claim. <\/li>\n<li><b>Stay off social media <\/b><br \/> This is hard for a lot of South Carolina car accident victims. Facebook  is part of our daily lives. However, what you put on your Facebook page,  try as you might to protect it, can easily end up in court. No matter  how much pain you&#8217;re in or how hard things are for you, someone is  bound to post a picture of you enjoying yourself. Investigators can use  that evidence to suggest your pain and suffering isn&#8217;t as great as  you claim.\n<p> While it&#8217;s truly unfair and most people know that they can smile even  in the darkest times, Facebook has been the unraveling of many car accident claims. <\/li>\n<li><b>Get the right lawyer <\/b><br \/> Your lawyer should warn you about the dangers &#8211; when to look out for insurance  investigators and how to modify your online behavior to avoid unfair accusations  from investigators.\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sinklaw.com\/car-accident\/\n\">A good auto accident attorney<\/a> can also negotiate with insurance companies to stop surveillance activity  and let you live your life freely before your case is settled or goes to trial. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Contact the experienced South Carolina car accident lawyers at George Sink,  P.A.
