Injured by a Defective Product in Colorado?
When you buy a product, you expect it to be safe.
- You don’t expect a brake system to fail.
- You don’t expect a child’s toy to shatter.
- You don’t expect a medical device to malfunction.
- And you certainly don’t expect a vehicle or consumer product to cause catastrophic injury.
When a defective product causes harm, Colorado law allows you to hold the manufacturer—and others in the chain of distribution—accountable.
At Jordan Law, our Denver product liability lawyers represent individuals and families who have been seriously injured by dangerous and defective products. We investigate aggressively, preserve critical evidence, and pursue full compensation through negotiation or trial.

What Is a Product Liability Case?
A product liability case arises when a product is unreasonably dangerous due to a defect and causes injury.
In Colorado, manufacturers and sellers can be held responsible under legal theories including strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.
Most product liability claims fall into one of three categories:
Design Defects
A design defect exists when the product is inherently dangerous—even if manufactured correctly.
Examples include:
- Vehicles prone to rollover
- Fuel systems positioned in high-impact zones
- Medical devices with flawed structural designs
- Recreational vehicles with stability failures
If the design itself creates an unreasonable risk, every unit produced may be defective.
Manufacturing Defects
A manufacturing defect occurs when something goes wrong during production.
Examples include:
- Improper assembly
- Defective materials
- Contaminated pharmaceutical batches
- Faulty welds or missing safety components
In these cases, the design may be safe—but the specific product that injured you deviated from its intended specifications.
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)
Manufacturers must provide adequate warnings and instructions.
If a product lacks proper warnings about:
- Known risks
- Foreseeable misuse
- Dangerous side effects
- Proper operation procedures
…then the manufacturer may be liable for failure to warn.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Defective Product?
Liability does not always stop with the manufacturer.
Depending on the facts, responsible parties may include:
Manufacturers
The company that produced the product or its component parts.
Designers
The entity responsible for engineering or structural plans.
Distributors & Wholesalers
Companies involved in transporting or supplying the product.
Retailers
The business that sold the product to the consumer.
Maintenance or Service Providers
If improper repair or servicing created or worsened the defect.
In many cases, multiple parties share responsibility. Identifying every potential source of recovery is critical in serious injury cases.

What Compensation Can You Recover?
Product liability cases often involve catastrophic injuries and long-term consequences.
Compensation may include:
Economic Damages
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Rehabilitation costs
- Property damage
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
Punitive Damages
In cases involving reckless disregard for safety—such as ignoring known hazards—punitive damages may be available to punish and deter misconduct.
How We Investigate Product Defect Cases
Product liability litigation is complex. Manufacturers often deploy teams of defense lawyers and engineering experts immediately.
At Jordan Law, we act just as quickly.
Our investigation may include:
- Immediate product preservation and chain-of-custody documentation
- Spoliation letters to prevent destruction of evidence
- Retention of engineering and industry experts
- Analysis of recall history and incident databases
- Review of internal safety bulletins and regulatory filings
- Examination of similar injury reports nationwide
In serious cases, early expert analysis can determine whether a defect is systemic or isolated—and that distinction can dramatically affect case value.
Manufacturers take cases seriously when they know they are facing trial lawyers who are prepared to litigate.
As Jason Jordan often says:
“When we come across their desk, they know they’re up against good trial lawyers. They know we try cases regularly and hit big verdicts.”

Statute of Limitations for Product Liability Cases in Colorado
Colorado law limits the amount of time you have to file a product liability lawsuit.
In many cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. Certain exceptions and additional deadlines may apply depending on the circumstances.
Because product cases often involve complex investigation and expert analysis, early consultation is critical.
