What is the difference between malpractice and negliance?

Malpractice refers specifically to professional negligence, typically in fields like medicine or law, where a professional fails to meet the standard of care expected in their profession, resulting in harm to a client or patient. Negligence, on the other hand, is a broader legal concept that applies to any situation where an individual fails to exercise reasonable care, leading to injury or damage, regardless of the professional context. Essentially, all malpractice cases involve negligence, but not all negligence cases involve malpractice.
