FAQ
How can I know if I can sue?
If you feel the damage has been done to you, you can consider starting a lawsuit. We recommend you’ll verify the following before starting:
The statement that was made was indeed false.
The statement was communicated to a third party.
The statement caused harm to your reputation.
It's important to note that not all false or negative statements are defamatory. For example, opinions, satire, and hyperbole are generally not considered defamatory.
What evidence do I need?
The evidence you need will depend on the circumstances of the case. Try to get any evidence you can that prove a harm was done to you, and that it was done intentionally with knowledge of the falsehood.
Is it worth it for me to sue?
It depends on the specific circumstances of your case, but suing ~~a~~ can be worth it if you have a solid legal claim and the potential compensation outweighs the cost of fees and other expenses. If you decide to go take the case to small claims court, you’ll have to pay related fees, such as court fees, and serving and handling fees.
