Social Media’s Role in Disputed Insurance Claims

Recent findings from The Texas Law Dog injury law firm reveal that social media content plays a pivotal role in 42% of disputed insurance claims. Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are increasingly being leveraged by insurers to deny or reduce payouts. On average, these interventions result in cost savings of $9,800 per claim for insurance companies.

Social networks have emerged as fertile ground for insurance providers seeking to uncover inconsistencies, challenge injury claims, and even adjust risk scores automatically based on digital behavior. The report, based on data from 57 insurance carriers and over 450 court dockets, highlights that 68% of leading U.S. insurers now have dedicated units for social claims review. Furthermore, 55% of assessments in the auto and health sectors now incorporate AI-driven digital behavior scoring.

A breakdown of flagged content shows that 25% originates from Instagram, 18% from Facebook, and 13% from TikTok. This data underscores the growing importance of digital footprints in the insurance claim process.
