Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia
libel/slander
After a very bad experience at a restaurant while on vacation in Avon, NC., I contacted the North Carolina State Consumer Protection office. I explained the way we were treated to the office. It took 2 requests from consumer protection before the establishment finally responded. Rather than addressing the issue of poor service, the person that wrote the letter accused our group of being intoxicated and disruptive to the establishment. These are false statements and in my opinion extremely slanderous to me and to the group that I was with.
I feel that this is a clear case of libel.
Please respond
Sincerely,
Debbie Landon

Re: libel/slander
Assuming that you have a case for libel (which may or may not be the case), what are your provable damages?
