Question: How can a defamation case be pursued when false statements have been made to an employer?

Answer: In a situation where an individual wishes to sue for defamation, you may consider sending a formal cease and desist for a civil matter or reporting the behavior to the police if the threats involve violence or harmful actions. If you wish to sue for damages such as emotional distress, documentation relating to medical bills or appointments, therapy sessions, or a medical affidavit from your medical provider may be required. If you'd like to book a call with an attorney to discuss your situation or for help with a formalized cease and desist, contact Cape Law to see if services are offered in your jurisdiction.
