Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Pennsylvania

Sexual Harassment Physcological damage

I was sexually harassed in Feb. 02. The situation brought back flashbacks of sexual abuse as a child. Since then i have been in and out of institutions (hospitals) and have had to receive electric shock treatments. In doing so, i have been on long term disability and receiving social security payments. My question is do I have the right to sue for mental(physical) damage. I had four employees witness the sexual abuse. thanks,

Re: Sexual Harassment Physcological damage

Tennessee has a one-year statute of limitations to bring a personal tort action, such as sexual harrassment. Therefore, the statute has passed, and you cannot bring suit now for an injury that occured in Feb. 2002.
