Broomfield, CO Personal Injury Lawyer
You’re Hurt. Confused. Scared. We Have Your Back.
If you’ve been injured in Broomfield, you’re facing more than just physical pain. You’re worried about the mounting bills at Good Samaritan Medical Center, the shifts you’re missing at Interlocken, and the insurance adjuster who keeps calling while you’re trying to heal. You might even feel what locals call “North Side Neglect”—that sense that because you’re not in downtown Denver, your case is just another file number to the big firms.
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard, we’re the antidote to the settlement mill. We are trusted Denver personal injury attorneys who prepare every case as if it’s going before a jury in the 17th Judicial District. Because insurance companies know we’re willing to go the distance, they treat our clients differently. You’re not just a case file. You’re a person who deserves to be heard and helped.

Why Broomfield Accidents Are Different
Navigating Broomfield presents unique hazards that out-of-town lawyers often miss. We know that a crash here isn’t just bad luck—it’s often the result of specific, dangerous local conditions that require insider knowledge to prove.
The US-36 & Wadsworth Gauntlet
The mix of Flatiron Crossing shoppers merging with high-speed commuters creates what locals know as a “merge or die” environment. We specialize in the complex multi-vehicle liability cases that happen when someone misjudges the speed differential between the express lanes and local traffic.
Sunset Blindness on Midway Boulevard
Heading west on Midway or 120th Avenue in the evening isn’t just a commute—it’s a hazard. The sun glare over the Flatiron Mountains can make brake lights invisible. We know how to reconstruct these accidents using sun angle data and crash scene photos to prove you weren’t at fault.
Express Lane Confusion on the Turnpike
The pylons separating the US-36 express lanes are a frequent site of illegal lane changes. If you were hit by someone diving out of the express lane to catch the Interlocken exit at the last second, we know how to pull traffic camera data and toll records to prove it.
The 120th & US-287 Intersection
As one of the busiest surface intersections in Broomfield County, “failure to yield” left-turn accidents are common here. We understand the traffic patterns and signal timing that can make or break your case.
The CGH Difference: It’s More Than Money
Most firms want to settle your case in 90 days for the first low-ball offer so they can move on to the next one. We don’t operate that way. For us, it’s about helping you rebuild your life.
We Fight Hospital Liens So You Keep More
A settlement means nothing if the hospital takes it all. We aggressively negotiate medical liens with Good Samaritan and St. Anthony North to ensure money stays in your pocket, not theirs. We’ve saved clients tens of thousands of dollars by reducing or eliminating these liens.
Direct Partner Access, Not a Paralegal Pipeline
You won’t be passed around to a junior associate or case manager. You get direct access to your attorney—someone who knows your name, your injuries, and your goals. We care deeply about your well-being, and we fight relentlessly for your recovery.
Local Court Experience That Matters
We are regulars in the Broomfield Combined Courts. We understand the “suburban jury” dynamic of Broomfield and Adams counties—a crucial insight that downtown Denver firms often lack. This local knowledge has helped us secure aggressive, trial-tested representation that delivers results.
How We Handle Personal Injury Cases in Broomfield
When you hire Cheney Galluzzi & Howard, we take over the fight with the insurance company so you can focus on healing. Here’s what that looks like:
1. Free Consultation & Case Evaluation
We listen to your story, review the facts, and give you honest guidance about your options. No upfront fees. No obligation.
2. Independent Investigation
We don’t take the insurance company’s word for anything. We investigate independently—gathering police reports, traffic camera footage, witness statements, and expert accident reconstruction when needed.
3. Building Your Case for Maximum Compensation
We consult with medical experts to document the full impact of your injuries and fight for compensation that covers all current and future expenses. This includes:
- Economic damages: Medical bills, lost wages, future treatment costs, property damage
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, emotional distress, disfigurement
4. Aggressive Negotiation & Trial Preparation
Because we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, insurance companies know we mean business. This often leads to better settlement offers. But if they refuse to be fair, we’re ready to stand up for you in court.
Understanding Colorado’s Personal Injury Laws
What is the Statute of Limitations?
In Colorado, you generally have three years from the date of a motor vehicle accident to file a lawsuit (C.R.S. § 13-80-101). For other injuries like slips and falls, the limit is often two years. Do not wait—evidence at intersections like 160th Avenue & Huron Street disappears quickly, and witnesses’ memories fade.
How Does Modified Comparative Negligence Affect My Claim?
Colorado follows a 50% bar rule (C.R.S. § 13-21-111). If you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. If you’re less than 50% at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault, you would recover $80,000.
This is why having a lawyer who can prove the other driver’s specific negligence—like an illegal lane change on US-36 or running a red light at Main Street & Midway—is critical to protecting your recovery.
Do I Have to Go to Court?
Not always. Because we prepare every case for trial, insurance companies are often more willing to offer a fair settlement to avoid facing us in the 17th Judicial District. However, if they refuse to be fair, we are ready and willing to take your case before a jury.

Frequently Asked Questions for Broomfield Residents
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means you don’t pay us unless we win your case. There are no hidden fees, and we cover all case expenses during the investigation and litigation process.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months; others take longer, especially if they go to trial. We won’t rush you into a settlement that doesn’t account for the full extent of your injuries and future needs.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still recover compensation under Colorado’s comparative negligence rule, as long as you are less than 50% at fault. We fight to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your recovery.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to get you to say things that hurt your claim. Politely decline to give a recorded statement and contact us immediately. We’ll handle all communication with the insurance company.
What if the other driver didn’t have insurance?
You may still have options through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We’ll review your policy and explore all avenues for recovery.
