Legal Question in Construction Law in Colorado

The answer to the �can I be sued� question is always the same: Yes. What you need to determine is how to answer a suit, what defenses to make, and who to hold responsible if you are not directly responsible for the claims. Your goal as the defendant is to get in a position to hopefully remove yourself from the suit, win a motion for summary judgment, or have as many defenses available to reduce your possible liability.

I assume that you have been served with a complaint. Depending on the court, you have a few weeks to respond. This response must be considered very carefully or you will throw away a great deal of options and rights. If you have not already done so, contact an attorney to review the facts and determine your response. Ideally the attorney will represent you in the suit (if this suit is against an entity, this may be required) or, at a minimum, they can help you with how to respond to the complaint.

Good luck and make sure to respond correctly and in the time required or you face a default judgment.
