You can sue a person for defamation (which includes accusations) when you can successfully prove a few things:

  • The statements and/or accusations were false.
  • The statements and/or accusations were made purposely and maliciously 1.
  • The statements and/or accusations caused you damages or significantly damaged your character 2.

In any civil suit, the plaintiffs bare the burden of evidence. You'll be required to prove those three things to the judge in order to be successful.

1 - Maliciousness can include: retribution, retaliation for another case, job, argument, harassment, to purposely cause injury to anothers character.

2 - Damages include, Losing your job, incurring injury, loss of wages, hospital bills that happened, the loss of character, etc.
