Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Do not refer to any one individual, organization or non-profit. Simply present a scenario from a generic point of view; be careful not to use any names or symbols remotely similar to existing ones to provide even a whip of familiarity.

My colleague is correct, alhough, generally speaking, truth is not defamatory. Therefore, names and marks could potentially be mentioned, as long as they represent the truth backed up by irrefutable facts. In addition, in many instances, opinions are generally not defamatory either, but sometimes it's difficult to determine if something is an opinion or a purported statement of facts.

A good bet is to run the script by an attorney who would be able to assist you in flagging down content that might be defamatory.

Please contact my office at your earliest convenience for help in this matter.
