After an injury on someone else’s property—a slip and fall at a store, an apartment stairwell collapse, or a trip on a poorly maintained sidewalk—you may believe you have a strong case. But what you post on social media after your accident can change everything.

Social media and premises liability in Texas are more closely connected than most people realize. Even a single photo, check-in, or comment can be used against you in a personal injury claim. Defense attorneys and insurance companies routinely search Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter for content that can minimize, dispute, or outright deny your claim.
