R U OK? Day 2024

R U OK? Day is an annual event in Australia focused on promoting mental health and encouraging people to check in on each other. Held on the second Thursday of September, it aims to raise awareness about mental health issues and encourage open conversations about emotional well-being. The day emphasizes the importance of asking loved ones if they’re okay and offering support to those who might be struggling.

We hope you’re ok.

We’d like to take a moment to remind you of an important aspect of your personal injury claim: social media.

In Queensland, as in many places, insurance companies and opposing parties may review your social media profiles to gather information about your daily activities, which could potentially be used against you in your claim.

To avoid any negative impact on your case, we recommend being cautious about what you share online. Avoid posting about your injury, your claim, or any physical activities that could be misrepresented. It’s always best to err on the side of caution.

If you have any questions about how to navigate social media during this time or need further guidance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
