VerifiedHello and welcome to JustAnswer. My name is Ben and I'm a licensed attorney. Please note this site is for general information for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship.
.
ANSWER: In Florida, a sexual harassment lawsuit must be filed within one year after the last act of harassment occurs. Unfortunately, this means that a lawsuit for money damages based on sexual harassment cannot be successfully filed eight years after the harassment.
.
I wish I had better news for you, but I am ethically required to give you my honest legal assessment of the situation.
.
Have I answered your question to your satisfaction (even if my answer is not what you were hoping I would say)?
You are welcome. I'm glad I could help. Kindly remember (when you are not driving) to give my answer a 5-star rating, so that I could get credit quickly for the time and effort I spent looking into and answering your question.
Thank you very much.
