Defamation is a false statement that injures a person’s reputation. False statements can be written (libel) or spoken (slander). Today, false information can be disseminated to millions with a few simple clicks and ruin a reputation within minutes. While most high-profile defamation lawsuits involve news organizations, defamation can also occur in more common situations, such as accusation of theft. Defamatory statements may negatively and permanently impact one’s business and personal relationships. A person or business that has suffered libel or slander may seek compensation from those responsible.
