| Over the last 24 years, Randall S. Herrick-Stare
has handled a broad range of complex matters
in state and federal courts at both the trial
and appellate courts levels. His comfort with
technical and scientific issues made him the
logical choice for lead counsel in product and
construction defect cases presenting complex
causal mechanisms. Recently, over a period of
six years, he represented the seller of 25 million
feet of defective rubber hydronic heating hose
against claims by numerous home and business
owners that the hose exhibited accelerated aging
and embrittlement.
Mr. Herrick-Stare has tried dozens of personal
injury and property claims involving construction
and industrial processes and equipment. Mr.
Herrick-Stare’s appellate practice
has included a successful argument before
the Colorado Supreme Court making law regarding
numerous and substantial claims by insurers
against commercial vehicle operators for
reimbursement of insurance benefits paid
under the Colorado No-Fault Act.
Mr. Herrick-Stare tried to a successful
judgment one of the first trials of a trucker
class action under the federal Truth-in-Leasing
regulations. He is now lead counsel in a
federal class action on behalf of truckers
against a “credit reporting agency” for
systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting
Act.
Mr. Herrick-Stare has been substantially
involved in many reported cases. Those decisions
include:
- Loughridge v. Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co., 281 F. Supp.
2d 1252 (D. Colo. 2003), and 207 F. Supp.2d
1187 (D. Colo. 2002)(consolidated product
liability cases involving defective rubber
hydronic heating hose).

operators of commercial vehicles for
reimbursement of insurance benefits paid
to occupants of private vehicles as a
result of motor vehicle accidents).

Inc., 206 F.3d 1013 (10th Cir. 2000)(affirming

production worker).

in case resulting from a fire caused
by a tenant’s sign in a shopping
center).
- Patterson v. Magna
Am. Corp., 754 P.2d 1385 (Colo. App.
