Countertop Silicosis Claims in Lakewood, Colorado
Stone workers in Lakewood who fabricated, cut, ground, or polished engineered stone countertops (Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and others) may have developed silicosis — an irreversible, often progressive lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. Engineered stone contains 90-95% crystalline silica, making it far more hazardous than natural stone.
Product liability lawsuits are being filed against stone manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who failed to warn workers about the silicosis risk. These claims are separate from workers' compensation and are available to all workers regardless of immigration status.
Colorado Filing Deadline
- Statute of Limitations: 2 years
- Rule Type: Discovery rule applies
- Colorado applies a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, with the discovery rule extending the period for latent diseases like silicosis.
- Workers' Comp: Colorado workers' compensation does not prevent a third-party product liability claim against stone manufacturers.
