My wife is a psychiatrist and patients like this are her greatest fear.
She is liable as it is medical malpractice to not commit a person who expresses a desire to harm themselves or others.
I’ve attended legal seminars on this topic put on by the malpractice insurance attorneys. It’s even hard for a Dr. to protect themselves from the family suing them when a patient commits suicide.
Her therapists have big liability exposure.
Can you say what State you are in?
Does this vary from State to State?
