Littleton Personal Injury Lawyer
Trial-Ready Representation for South Metro Families
Why Littleton families drive 20 minutes to Cheney Galluzzi & Howard for trial-tested legal representation—and why we come to you.
When you’re hurt, confused, and facing mounting medical bills, the last thing you need is to sit in “The Santa Fe Slog” just to meet with a lawyer. That’s why Cheney Galluzzi & Howard—Denver’s trial-ready personal injury firm—brings our expertise directly to Littleton residents. Whether you’re recovering at Littleton Adventist Hospital or navigating the 18th Judicial District courts in Centennial, we know your roads, your community, and your fight.
We Know Littleton—Because We Fight for Littleton
This isn’t generic “we serve everywhere” language. We’ve handled cases at the Santa Fe & Mineral Avenue intersection—one of South Metro’s most dangerous high-speed collision zones. We know the black ice risk on the C-470 flyovers at Santa Fe & Lucent. We’ve represented cyclists injured on the Mary Carter Greenway and families whose lives were upended by sun-glare crashes on westbound Bowles Avenue near Wadsworth.
When we say we understand Littleton, we mean it:
- The Santa Fe Slog: That brutal commute on US-85 isn’t just traffic—it’s a gauntlet of distracted drivers, sudden merges, and T-bone collision risk at Mineral Avenue.
- C-470’s “High-Flyers”: Those elevated ramps freeze first in winter. We’ve seen the aftermath of black-ice crashes that insurance companies try to blame on “driver error.”
- Bowles Avenue Evening Commute: The sun-blind effect near Pierce Street has caused devastating accidents. Insurance adjusters love to claim “you should have seen it coming.” We prove otherwise.
- Titan Road Bottleneck: Roxborough Park’s single access point means when an accident happens, families feel trapped—physically and legally.
- Deer Creek Canyon Wildlife Collisions: Mule deer at dawn and dusk aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a serious hazard that insurers try to write off as “unavoidable.”
- Chatfield Reservoir Recreational Traffic: Boats, campers, trailers—complex multi-vehicle accidents that require investigators who understand how these crashes actually happen.
We don’t just list Littleton on a generic “cities we serve” page. We know where you live, where you were hurt, and where your case will be heard: the 18th Judicial District at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial.
Proudly serving families near Hudson Gardens, Historic Downtown Littleton, Ken Caryl Ranch, Roxborough Park, and Normandy Estates.
Why Littleton Residents Choose a Denver Firm (And Why We Come to You)
Here’s the truth: Littleton has local attorneys. But when your case involves catastrophic injuries, disputed liability, or an insurance company with deep pockets and aggressive lawyers, you need a firm with trial-tested experience and a track record in Colorado courtrooms—not just settlement mills that churn cases.
What Sets Cheney Galluzzi & Howard Apart:
Trial-Ready, Not Settlement-Dependent
Most personal injury firms talk a big game but fold the moment an insurer plays hardball. We’ve taken 25+ cases to verdict and recovered tens of millions of dollars for Colorado families. Insurance companies know we don’t bluff—and that changes everything about how they negotiate with our clients.
The “Anti-Commute” Advantage
You’re injured. Sitting in traffic on Santa Fe is excruciating. That’s why we offer:
- Free home and hospital visits throughout Littleton and South Metro
- Virtual consultations so you never have to leave your couch
- Easy highway access from C-470 or Santa Fe if you do want to meet at our Denver office—with free parking
18th Judicial District Expertise
Your case will be filed in Arapahoe County. We know the judges (including Judge LaQunya Baker), the jury demographics, and the local court procedures. We’ve secured significant verdicts and settlements in this exact jurisdiction.
Colorado-Specific Legal Knowledge
Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule means even if you’re partially at fault, you can still recover damages—unless you’re 50% or more responsible. Insurance companies exploit this by inflating your fault percentage to reduce their payout. We investigate independently, reconstruct accidents, and fight to minimize your assigned fault so you get maximum compensation.
It’s More Than Money
We know what you’ve lost: the ability to hike Deer Creek Canyon, bike the Platte River Trail, or walk your dog through Hudson Gardens. Our damages claims don’t just cover medical bills and lost wages—we fight for loss of lifestyle, loss of enjoyment, and the dignity of rebuilding your life on your terms.

Serving Littleton’s Neighborhoods with Local Expertise

- Ken Caryl (Valley & Ranch): High-value homes where winter weather hits harder. We’ve handled C-470/Kipling merge accidents and wildlife collision cases unique to mountain-adjacent living.
- Roxborough Park: That single entry/exit on Titan Road creates a “trapped” feeling when accidents block access. We understand the logistical and emotional toll.
- Normandy Estates / Leawood: Established family neighborhoods in unincorporated Arapahoe County. School zone accidents, distracted driving on Pierce Street and Bowles Avenue—we’ve seen it all.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Littleton
Car Accident Lawyers
High-speed collisions on Santa Fe & Mineral. Rear-end crashes in “The Santa Fe Slog.” Multi-vehicle pileups on C-470. We investigate every angle, consult accident reconstruction experts, and prove liability even when insurers claim “shared fault.”

Bicycle Accident Attorneys
The Mary Carter Greenway is a treasure—until a speeding cyclist or inattentive driver causes a collision. Colorado law protects cyclists, but insurance companies try to blame victims. We know cyclists’ rights on the Mary Carter Greenway and fight for full compensation.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Motorcyclists face catastrophic injuries in crashes that drivers walk away from. We handle cases involving lane-splitting disputes, visibility issues, and the bias that “bikers are reckless.” You deserve justice, not stereotypes.
Truck Accident Attorneys
Commercial trucks on C-470 and Santa Fe create deadly blind spots and jackknife risks. These cases involve federal regulations, black box data, and corporate defendants. We have the resources and trial experience to take on trucking companies.
Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
Downtown Littleton’s walkable streets should be safe. When drivers fail to yield at crosswalks or drive distracted near Main Street, pedestrians suffer life-altering injuries. We hold negligent drivers accountable.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability Attorneys
Colorado property owners must maintain safe premises. Black ice in Ken Caryl parking lots. Unmarked hazards at Chatfield Reservoir trailheads. Negligent maintenance at retail centers. We establish liability and fight for compensation that covers all current and future expenses.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Lawyers
TBIs change everything: memory, personality, earning capacity, relationships. These cases require medical experts, life-care planners, and attorneys who understand the long-term impact. We’ve secured significant compensation for TBI victims treated at Littleton Adventist Hospital and Encompass Health Rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Injury Attorneys
Paralysis, loss of mobility, and lifelong care needs demand maximum compensation. We work with top medical experts to document the full scope of your injuries and fight for settlements that reflect the true cost of your care.
Wrongful Death Lawyer
Losing a loved one to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Colorado’s wrongful death statute allows certain family members to seek compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. We handle these cases with compassion and relentless advocacy.
Rideshare Accident Attorneys
Uber and Lyft accidents involve complex insurance layers. Was the driver on the app? Between rides? We navigate the corporate maze and hold the right parties accountable.
How We Fight for You: Our Process
1. Free Consultation
We listen. We assess your case. We explain your rights under Colorado law—including the 2-year personal injury statute of limitations and 3-year auto accident deadline (with exceptions for delayed discovery or minors).
2. Independent Investigation
We don’t take the insurance company’s word for anything. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and accident reconstruction analysis. For Littleton cases, we know which intersections have camera footage and which don’t.
3. Demand & Negotiation
We build a comprehensive damages claim covering:
- Economic damages: Medical bills, lost wages, future care costs
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress
We negotiate aggressively. If the insurer won’t offer fair value, we don’t settle.
4. Trial
Unlike settlement mills, we’re trial-ready from day one. We’ve secured top verdicts in Colorado, including significant recoveries in the 18th Judicial District. Insurance companies know we’ll take them to court—and that changes the negotiation.
Why It’s More Than Money
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard, we understand that no settlement check will undo your injuries. But fair compensation gives you the resources to rebuild: pay for ongoing medical care, replace lost income, adapt your home, and reclaim as much of your life as possible.
You’re not just a case file. You’re a person who deserves to be heard, helped, and fought for with care and compassion. That’s the difference between a settlement mill and a firm that’s been recognized as Best of Denver, Super Lawyers, and trusted by 301+ five-star Google reviews from clients who describe us as “ethical,” “down to earth,” and “a cool firm that actually cares.”
Kevin Cheney, our founding partner, serves as Treasurer of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, sits on the CBA Board of Governors, and has recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured Coloradans. He’s not just a lawyer—he’s an advocate who believes hard work and trial preparation make the difference between justice and disappointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to live in Denver to hire Cheney Galluzzi & Howard?
No. We proudly serve Littleton, Ken Caryl, Roxborough Park, and all of South Metro Denver. We come to you—whether that’s your home, Littleton Adventist Hospital, or a local coffee shop.
How far is the drive to your office?
Approximately 20 minutes from downtown Littleton via Santa Fe Drive (US-85), depending on traffic. But again—we’ll come to you, so you never have to make the drive while you’re injured.
What if I were partially at fault for my accident?
Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence rule. If you’re less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages—reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you’re 20% at fault, you’d recover $80,000. Insurance companies will try to inflate your fault percentage. We fight to minimize it.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally, 2 years from the date of injury for personal injury cases and 3 years for auto accidents. But there are exceptions (minors, delayed discovery, government defendants). Don’t wait—evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and deadlines are strict.
Do I pay upfront fees?
No. We work on contingency, meaning you don’t pay us unless we win. We cover investigation costs, expert fees, and litigation expenses upfront. You focus on healing—we handle the fight.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
That’s where trial-tested experience matters. We’ve litigated hundreds of cases and taken 25+ to verdict. If an insurer denies your claim or offers an insulting settlement, we’re prepared to take them to court in the 18th Judicial District.
