Christopher Norberg, a patient of Chiropractor Dr. Steven Biegel, is being sued for a negative review of the doctor that he posted on Yelp. His review accused Dr. Biegel of fraudulent billing charges and dishonesty. The lawsuit has been questioned from both sides of the case. On one hand, Norberg is maintaining his constitutional right to freedom of speech. However, Biegel’s attorney says that because what Norberg wrote was an opinion and not a factual statement, he has tarnished Dr. Biegel’s reputation in the San Francisco area. This could potentially be a ground-breaking case that defines what is acceptable to blog about on the internet.
