What Evidence Do You Need to File a Social Media Addiction Claim?
Our team of social media addiction attorneys can determine what evidence you’ll need to prove your case and where to find it. Two key types of evidence that will strengthen your social media addiction claim are:
Documentation of Extensive Social Media Use
You won’t be able to prove your child was a victim of social media addiction unless you demonstrate that they extensively used the platforms you intend to pursue compensation from. Showing how much your child engaged with content on social media will strengthen your claim. Smartphone, computer, and social media app logs can provide metrics detailing which platforms your child used and for how long, which can help demonstrate social media addiction.
Medical Treatment Records
You must prove a compensable harm to secure compensation through a lawsuit. If your child suffered harm to their mental health or physical health as a result of their social media addiction, gathering medical and psychological records detailing the negative impact will be essential to proving your claims. For example, if your child received treatment for anxiety or depression associated with their social media use, the associated records will go a long way in substantiating your claim.
