Libel & Slander (Defamation Cases)

Libel & Slander (Defamation Cases)

False statements can damage reputations, careers, and businesses. When defamatory statements are communicated to others and cause harm, civil law provides remedies to address the injury and restore credibility. Libel and slander claims focus on protecting individuals and organizations from reputational damage caused by false information.

Norcross Civil Trials represents clients in defamation matters involving written, spoken, and online statements. Our firm works to s

Understanding Libel and Slander

Defamation claims generally fall into two categories:

  • Libel — written or published false statements
  • Slander — spoken false statements

Both forms involve communication of false factual statements that harm reputation when shared with others.

Defamation Matters We Handle

Norcross Civil Trials represents clients in libel and slander cases involving:

  • Oral and written statements of falsity
  • Published to third parties and on internet
  • Restraining orders and injunction
  • Recovery of money damages

Each case is evaluated carefully to determine available legal remedies.

Oral and Written Statements of Falsity

Defamation claims may arise from both spoken and written statements that are false and damaging. These statements must be presented as facts rather than opinions.

Examples include:

  • False accusations of misconduct
  • Statements harming professional credibility
  • Misrepresentations about business practices
  • False claims affecting personal reputation

Norcross Civil Trials evaluates whether statements meet the legal standard for defamation.

Publication to Third Parties and the Internet

Defamation requires communication to someone other than the person targeted. Modern defamation frequently occurs online.

Common forms of publication include:

  • Social media posts
  • Websites and blogs
  • Online reviews
  • Emails and digital communications
  • Printed publications

Internet-based defamation can spread quickly and cause lasting damage, making prompt legal action important.

Restraining Orders and Injunctions

In some cases, courts may issue restraining orders or injunctions to prevent continued defamation. These remedies are designed to stop ongoing harm when false statements continue to be published.

Injunctive relief may involve:

  • Removal of defamatory content
  • Prohibiting further publication
  • Court orders preventing continued misconduct

Norcross Civil Trials seeks injunctive relief when necessary to protect reputations.
