In a recent case in Charlottesville, Virginia, a claimant to a 10.6 million dollar jury verdict in 2007, won his 25-year-old wife's death. That's when her Honda Accord was struck by a cement mixer had died. The driver of cement mixer cement mixer was at fault because he had lost control on a curve. In fact, he pleaded guilty to murder.
The cement mixer was clearly at fault driver, the test had the same issue on how much money will be awarded the widower and his young wife's death. Factor in determining the assessment of damages and pain and will hurt young widower.
Facebook widower seeking to protect information. Claimant's attorney from being disclosed to try to prevent this information. Widower on his Facebook page, a picture was posted a year after the death of his wife. Picture on a T-shirt he was wearing a garter around his neck. T-shirts, widower was a reference to the "Hot Moms." Obviously, the defense asked for the picture in order widower of pain and suffering caused by the death of his wife's standing. Widower lawyer accused of trying to hide the picture due to the defense, is asking the judge to set aside the verdict of $ 10.6 million.
The fact that claimants should be very careful of information that shows they put on Facebook. Often, the defense will look on Facebook information.For example, if the claimant claims he does not walk without crutches, Facebook picture of that surfing, bowling or playing softball can weaken your position.
Thus, a claimant must know your Facebook pictures, videos and information can be reviewed by the defense. Contenders for the wrong type of picture or video can cost your entire claim. If the claimant goes on vacation, goes to a party, plays and sporting events on the Facebook should be very careful about recording these activities. The only "friends" will think of his activities may be recorded. Facebook in reality is an open book soon to protect a workers compensation claim or whether the claimant can become a personal injury claim.
