In today’s digital world, social media is more than just a platform for social interaction — it is also a valuable legal tool. Our team at Waranch & Brown adeptly utilizes plaintiffs’ social media to debunk claims and provide credence to defense theories. By scrutinizing online behaviors, we’ve challenged the authenticity of alleged injuries, providing a clearer picture of the plaintiff’s actual condition. Even transaction histories on platforms like Venmo can imply a more active lifestyle or contradict claimed financial hardships.
To resonate with the jury, the narrative we present at trial must be supported by compelling visuals and videos. We’ve found that evidence sourced from familiar platforms like Instagram and TikTok is compelling to the average juror because it aligns closely with their everyday experiences and perceptions. Modern juries are accustomed to seeing significant portions of people’s lives documented via social media.
Utilizing social media gives us a window into the “real” life of plaintiffs and provides evidence that can alter the course of a trial. As we continue to explore this evolving landscape, our commitment to leveraging all available resources to defend our clients remains unwavering.
