Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
defamation
can a person sue a person for spreading malicious lies? this is going on at work; a fellow employee is going around stating another employee keyed her car. even though everyone knows she's lying, this is my husband she's spreading lies about, and i for one do not appreciate it at all.

Re: defamation
Getting to the practical issue, how would your husband's daily life at work be better if he sued another employee? You said that no one believed her. Quite possibly, it would be worse, and many employers would likely see an easy solution - terminate both. Having some bare legal claim does not mean a lawsuit is the smart thing to do.

I have handled a similar situation, where the client just wanted the behavior to stop and not be repeated, without going to court. Feel free to contact my firm in the event that you are interested in employing legal assistance.
