Serving the Trucking Industry

In a recent court opinion the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas held that a Plaintiff’s Myspace and Facebook pages, user name, user login and passwords were discoverable because the information posted by plaintiff on those sites was not confidential and did not fall under a privilege. Plaintiff filed a personal injury action following a motor vehicle accident. Plaintiff’s complaint alleged he suffered permanent injuries and loss and impairment as well a loss of his ability to enjoy life’s pleasures. The information posted on the public portion of Plaintiff’s sites contained information contrary to Plaintiff’s claims. Defendant argued that the information contained in the private portion of Plaintiff’s websites may contain more relevant posts. The court agreed.
