Jonathan Burton of Gluckstein Lawyers on mental health damages and social media risk
Jonathan Burton of Gluckstein Lawyers has spent more than two decades watching mental health evolve from an afterthought into a central pillar of personal injury litigation. In that time, he's seen the stakes rise on both sides: clients and their families navigating the psychological aftershocks of accidents, while insurers and defence counsel increasingly use social media to challenge their credibility. Burton argues that the intake conversation needs to change from the very first meeting, and that building a complete picture of a client's functional reality, including its psychological dimensions, is not optional. It is part of the recovery, and part of the case.
