The purpose of this Toronto Injury Blog Post is to show you how insurers can and WILL use social media against you to defeat your credibility and to defeat your personal injury case.

If that means spending $50,000, to avoid paying you $10,000 on a claim which they deem to be without merit, then they certainly will. Our lawyers have seen accident benefit files where insurers refuse to pay an injured accident victim who cannot work a $400/week income replacement benefit, but instead, send them to countless assessments which cost between $7,000-$15,000. The cost of the medical assessments were 7-10 times the cost of the weekly benefit.
