Medical malpractice is the negligence act, while wrongful death is the damage that occurred from the act. It is possible to have a medical malpractice wrongful death claim, but not all medical malpractice claims are wrongful death cases (not all result in death). A wrongful death case can also be brought as a result of an motor vehicle accident, defective product, work-related accident, or a number of other situations.
