Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Libel refers to false and harmful statements made in written form. Since libel can harm a person's reputation, a lawsuit can ask for personal injury damages, which compensate for the harm to the person's reputation and emotional distress caused by the false accusations. Bodily injury damages (B) would be more appropriate in cases where a person has suffered physical harm, while loss of consortium damages (C) compensate for the loss of companionship and intimacy between spouses. Dram shop benefits (D) generally pertain to cases where a business has served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who goes on to cause harm to others, and are not relevant in cases of libel.
