  • monitoring your social media profiles and feeds for comments or photos that could harm your claim;
  • talking with your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends about your habits and whereabouts to find some piece of discrediting information;
  • having a private investigator follow you to record or take photos of any actions that may be interpreted as fraudulent ; and
  • requesting a credit report or other financial information to show that you could have financial motives for filing a claim.
Don’t let the insurance companies catch you off guard. Hire a Texas insurance lawyer if you are confused about Texas insurance claims and/or what to do after a car accident. Your personal injury claim could be harmed if you are not aware of the tactics insurance companies use.
