Re: Libel and Slander

If the information submitted was false, and if the submission was done with the belief by the sender that the information submitted was false, and if it can be proven that damages were incurred by the vet as a result of the false information submission, then the vet might have a claim against the sender for damages. If you have further questions, feel free to contact an attorney directly to discuss the information in more detail. Please note that there are statute of limitations time periods that might dictate the time period in which any claim needs to be made against the sender.
