Recovering damages in a sexual harassment case
Depending on the legal remedies you seek, you may: stop the harassment, recover lost wages and other job-related losses (i.e. promotions, or favorable work status you lost because of the sexual harassment), obtain compensation for personal injuries (i.e. physical, mental and emotional injuries), obtain punitive damages against the harasser(s) and/or company, recover attorneys' fees and costs, and make reforms within the company or entity held liable for sexual harassment.
