Defamation

Defamation is a false statement or communication about another person that causes emotional or financial harm. This harm may include damage to an individual’s or business’s reputation, as well as mental anguish and distress. Some statements such as accusing one of a crime are presumed damaging, and are recoverable without specific proof of damages.

These cases can occur when the defamatory statements are made orally or in a printed medium such as a newspaper or magazine. Internet defamation can occur when a person publishes such libelous statements online. Be advised that the law protects your reputation against defamation.
