Statute of Limitations
Colorado: 2 years for product liability (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102). Discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury and its connection to the product. Colorado also has a 3-year statute of repose from date of the act giving rise to the claim.

Where to File in Colorado
Colorado has a single federal judicial district — the District of Colorado, headquartered in Denver. Colorado applies strict liability for defective products and follows a modified comparative fault system where plaintiff recovery is barred if fault exceeds 50 percent. There are no caps on compensatory damages in product liability cases. Colorado's judiciary is generally moderate, and Denver's diverse jury pools reflect the state's mix of urban and suburban demographics.
