Kerrane Storz Profiled in CTLA’s Trial Talk

Fifteen years ago, when Kerrane Storz opened its doors in Colorado, construction defect legislation was not the hot topic it is today. In 1986, Colorado quietly reduced its statute of repose from 10 years down to 6 years, giving Colorado the distinction of having one of the shortest statutes of repose in the country. In 2001 and then again in 2003, the legislature passed reforms which limited the types of damages homeowners could collect and created a pre-litigation notice of claim process. Additionally, the legislature capped damages under Colorado’s Consumer Protection Act. With each change, the builders declared victory and announced that the changes they wanted to protect the residential construction industry.
