Yes, sir, you can sue. I don't know whether you will win or not, but you can certainly sue for pain and suffering. You need to also sue for actual damages in the form of getting your daughter psychiatric therapy in the long term, sending her to a special school, etc... The damages are not yours; they are your daughter's.

I recommend you retain a lawyer to help you.
