Did you know that not all speech is free speech? This means there are certain types of speech (written and oral) that are not protected by the First Amendment. The reason for these limitations on our freedom of speech is to ensure public safety and honesty. Determining what is considered unprotected speech can be challenging though, especially when it comes to defamation! This is why we compiled the ultimate defamation guide to help you through the process.

Defamation, libel, and slander all refer to communication of false information to a third party that is harmful to another’s reputation. Although defamation law varies from state to state, the basic premise remains the same: defamation law exists to protect a person’s reputation against the harm of false allegations.

PLEASE NOTE: If you believe you have been the victim of defamation, it is important to act quickly and file a defamation claim. This is because there is a time limit, known as the statute of limitations, for filing defamation claims. This time limit begins from the date of the alleged defamation- NOT from when you first discovered it. If you do not submit your claim within the statute of limitations, you will not be able to file a defamation lawsuit and recover damages.

Thanks, in part, to the rise of online platforms and social media, we’ve seen a steady increase in defamation cases over the recent years, so if you’ve been considering filing a defamation lawsuit, our best advice is to review our defamation guide and contact an experienced defamation lawyer as soon as possible!
