Personal injury claims aren’t solely reserved for injuries that are physical in nature. Sometimes words can be just as harmful, especially if the claims made against you have hurt your reputation and affected your livelihood. That’s why personal injury lawyers commonly take on defamation claims. In order to win a defamation claim, your attorney must prove that the defendant knew the statement(s) made against you were false or acted with reckless disregard as to the truthfulness of the claims, and that the words resulted in direct economic harm.
