Lawyer: Harassment claim will survive NY sex-suit plaintiff

The New York Post reports:

A sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a female hardhat will continue despite her death in a house fire, her attorney said Monday.

Bianca Kuros, 44, was killed when flames raced through her Queens apartment Saturday, two days before the first court conference in her lawsuit. One of her two teenage daughters and two men in their 50s were critically injured, according to fire department officials.

Kuros, a widow, filed the lawsuit in July claiming she was propositioned, groped, and subjected to lewd comments on a Park Avenue construction site where she was the safety inspector. When she complained, Kuros said, she was replaced by a man.
