Since suicide is a self-inflicted harm, it is arguably outside the scope of any employment. However, suicide as an employment injury is determined by finding a causal connection between the act, the employment and an underlying injury. Under the chain-of-causation test, an employee has a valid claim where he can show that his work-related injury caused a deranged mental condition, which in turn caused him to commit suicide. |
