Are medical malpractice and wrongful death the same thing?
No. Medical malpractice may lead to wrongful death, but the two are not always linked. To prove medical malpractice, it must be shown that the provider did not offer the accepted standard of care to a patient. Medical malpractice may sometimes result in injury, not death. A wrongful death case seeks damages as compensation to the family of the victim and is not always a result of medical malpractice. An experienced Atlanta wrongful death attorney at Robbins & Associates, P.C. can explain the differences to you.
