Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

Re: Slander Liability

To win a slander action, you must prove that the statement made about you was not true, that it was conveyed to a third party, that your reputation in the eyes of the third party was damaged due to the false statement, and that you have suffered damage, usually pecuniary. In this case, if you could prove all the elements above and that the slanderous statement caused you to lose your job, you might have a valid claim for slander. The key word in your question is "partially." ("...this statement served, partially, as evidence to terminate my most recent employment.") If your employer fired you for reasons other than the slanderous statement, you may not have a case.
