To prevail in a case for disparagement,a plaintiff must prove she has suffered some accompanying physical injury.

A plaintiff does not need to prove physical injury to prevail in a case for disparagement. Disparagement, also known as defamation of goods, occurs when false statements are made about a company's products or services. To prevail in a case for disparagement, the plaintiff must prove that the defamatory statements were false and caused harm to their business, such as lost sales or damage to their reputation. Physical injury is not a requirement for this type of case.
