FAQ
Many jurisdictions do not consider slander to be per se actionable. But this is not the case in Florida. Like defamation per se, the slander per se definition includes statements involving sexual misconduct or abuse and crimes of moral turpitude.
To prevail in a defamation lawsuit or claim, you must be able to show the following in Florida courts: That someone made a false statement. That the statement was distributed, either orally or in written form. That the statement caused you to suffer an injury. That the statement was false.
To prove defamation, a plaintiff generally must show: • A false statement purporting to be fact; • Publication or communication of that statement to a third person; • Fault amounting to at least negligence; and • Damages – that is, some harm caused to the plaintiff's reputation.

In Florida, defamation is generally defined as a publication of false statements that directly and approximately result in an injury to another. Under Florida law, defamation includes both libel and slander. Libel is a written publication of false statements that cause injury to the victim.
Florida courts recognize a number of privileges and defenses in the context of defamation actions, including substantial truth, the opinion and fair comment privileges, the fair report privilege, and the wire service defense.
Identify the false statements: Clearly outline the defamatory remarks and where they were made. Describe the harm: Explain how the statements have affected your reputation or career. Request retraction: Demand the removal of defamatory content or a formal apology.
