Defamation is a false statement, communicated to a third party, that injures another person's reputation or good name. The false statement can be communicated in a written or spoken form. 

Civil Action

Defamation, whether in a written or spoken form, is actionable under Minnesota law. A civil award of damages may be available for your defamation claim. 

Defenses

Numerous defenses may also be available in a defamation claim. For example, a defendant may always argue the truth of a matter in a defamation lawsuit.
