Filing Deadline in Colorado
Colorado applies a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, with the discovery rule extending the period for latent diseases like silicosis.
⚠️ Important: Many workers don't connect their lung disease to engineered stone until years after exposure. Under the discovery rule, your deadline may start from when you discovered the connection. Don't assume you've missed your window — consult an attorney.
Workers' Compensation & Your Lawsuit Rights in Colorado
Colorado workers' compensation does not prevent a third-party product liability claim against stone manufacturers.
You can pursue both workers' compensation benefits and a product liability lawsuit against stone manufacturers simultaneously in most cases. An attorney can advise on coordination rules specific to Colorado.
