While Colorado Law allows individuals to file product liability claims independently, hiring an attorney is wise due to the complexity of these cases. A product liability claim requires a thorough understanding of Colorado’s statutes and involves the following challenges:
- Proving Liability: Victims must show that the product was defective (either in design, manufacturing, or marketing). Evidence such as the defective product itself, expert testimony, and precise documentation (such as photos, technical manuals, and medical records) may be required. Product liability attorneys have the knowledge and experience to properly collect and present such evidence.
- Strict Statutory Deadlines: Colorado’s product liability statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury or death . Missing this deadline could disqualify you from seeking compensation.
- Handling Complex Legal Arguments: Manufacturers and sellers often rely on experienced legal teams to defend their interests. They may argue that you misused the product, claim the product met industry standards, or dispute whether the defect caused the injury. An experienced lawyer can represent an injury victim in the face of these competing interests.
