Although defamation seems to be a term that is fairly well known, defamation lawsuits are far less common than most people would believe. The reason for this is because it is fairly difficult to prove a defamation case and most attorneys are simply unwilling to take on these types of cases. It is therefore a challenge to find a lawyer that specializes in these types of cases.

However, defamation falls under the umbrella of personal injury law which means that any lawyer specializing in this field of the law can try a defamation case in a court of law. Proving that a statement is false can be difficult. Simply calling someone a name is not sufficient to prove defamation and that the specific name is false.
