Legal Question in Disability Law in Pennsylvania

Hello:

In order to prevail in a malpractice action in Pennsylvania, the plaintiff must provide expert testimony that the defendant, in this case, the workers' comp doctor, deviated from the standard of care and that such deviation was the proximate cause of the injury.

So, in a general sense, your situation may be malpractice if the workers' comp doctor deviated from the standard of care required by him, and if that deviation is proven to be the cause of the injury, i.e., the suicide.
