Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts psychiatry expert witness services.
Reliable Clinical Experts psychiatrists testify that suicide risk assessment must evaluate risk factors (prior attempts, depression severity, substance abuse, access to lethal means) and protective factors. Assessment must be documented, repeated when clinical status changes, and result in appropriate safety interventions. Failure to assess, document, or respond to identified risk is a primary basis for psychiatric malpractice claims after patient suicide.
Reliable Clinical Experts psychiatry experts testify that involuntary commitment requires patients pose imminent danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. Psychiatrists must balance patient autonomy against safety. Failure to hospitalize patients who subsequently complete suicide — or improper commitment of patients not meeting criteria — can both result in liability. Documentation of risk assessment and clinical reasoning is essential.
