When a false statement damages the image of a person, business group, or company, it is considered defamation. Whether the false statement is communicated deliberately or without any harmful intentions (usually recklessly), it harms someone’s reputation in public.

And, celebrities are not the only ones who are affected by the defamatory statements. Many businesses and small companies have also suffered because of it. Even a single statement has the ability to harm your image.

False statement is communicated by two methods –
·         Spoken
·         Written (in paper, on internet etc.)

Defamation is a serious issue as it can lead to severe consequences like family & society’s rejection, lost business opportunities & customer base, damaged reputation etc. Clearing the defamed individual’s or business’s name becomes an additional challenge.

So what you should do if someone tries to defame you? If you are a victim of defamatory statements, then you should contact a professional lawyer to get justice for your ruined reputation.

An attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf after investigating your case. In your complaint, the lawyer can provide the evidence that show how the statement has caused damage to your image.
