Libel is best described as a false statement that is presented as a fact, which injures a person's reputation. It is a form of defamation that occurs in written or printed form. To succeed in a libel claim, the plaintiff typically must prove that the statement was made with actual malice or negligence, particularly if they are a public figure. Legal consequences can include monetary damages awarded to the injured party.
