QUESTION
Sueing for Defamamtion of Character
Asked on Jul 02nd, 2013 on Civil Litigation - North Carolina
More details to this question:
Had an ex-girlfriend try to ruin my life. We are both in the army and doctors. She went to my commander and accused me of sleeping with enlisted soldiers, doing drugs, and breaking HIPPA violations. They only charge that had any evidence was the HIPPA violation. So, an investigation was launched to see if I had indeed looked up a patient's medical record, whom I was not caring for. The truth is, is that she used my name and password to look him up. After 6 months, I was found not guilty and they found lucid evidence on her. She is currently under investigation for that and looking up my medical record without my consent. In the past six months I have been removed from the residency, and placed in another unit. Plenty of people will attest to her slander and libel (my commander, investigator, etc) actions. Do I have a case?

While defamation of character cases are very hard to prove, you have described a matter with legitimate potential to be a viable case. Obviously, it would need to be explored in much more detail before an opinion could be rendered on whether it was worth pursuing. You should call a reputable firm in your area and explore it in more detail.
