When you’re involved in a motor vehicle accident in Colorado, Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC provides experienced legal representation to protect your rights and secure fair compensation. Our personal injury attorneys understand the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that follow a crash and work tirelessly to help you recover what you deserve.
Steps to Take After a Car Accident to Protect Your Rights
Immediately after an accident, call 911 and seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. This critical first step creates documentation of your injuries and establishes a connection between the car accident and your medical condition. Document everything by taking photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries to preserve valuable evidence for your case. Collect contact information from witnesses and exchange insurance details with other drivers involved, as witness testimony can significantly strengthen your claim. Never admit fault or provide recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, as these statements can be manipulated to minimize your compensation. Report the accident to your insurance company promptly, but keep conversations brief and factual, focusing only on the essential details without speculation about fault or injury severity.

Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often result in devastating consequences due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the complexities involved in these cases and provide dedicated representation to victims throughout Colorado. Our experienced attorneys work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve while you focus on recovery.
Unique Challenges in Truck Accident Claims
Truck accident cases involve distinct complications that separate them from typical car accidents. These claims require navigating federal transportation regulations, investigating multiple liable parties (including trucking companies, manufacturers, and contractors), and analyzing complex evidence like electronic logging devices and black box data. After truck accidents, victims often face catastrophic injuries requiring extensive long-term medical care and significant financial burdens. Additionally, trucking companies typically deploy aggressive legal teams immediately after an accident, often attempting to minimize liability before victims can secure representation. The complex insurance policies involved in commercial trucking cases further complicate the process of obtaining fair compensation for accident victims seeking justice after these life-altering events.
Our Commitment to Helping Truck Accident Victims with Skilled Representation
Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC brings specialized knowledge and resources to truck accident cases. We conduct thorough investigations, consulting with accident reconstruction specialists and industry experts to build compelling claims that establish liability.

Our legal team’s expertise in truck accident litigation means we know how to identify potential violations of federal safety regulations and industry standards that may have contributed to your accident. We work diligently to document the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other impacts on your quality of life. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC today for a free consultation and experience our commitment to securing the justice and compensation you deserve.
Premises Liability
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand that property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Premises liability cases arise when negligent property maintenance or security leads to injuries. Our experienced Denver attorneys help victims secure the compensation they deserve while holding negligent property owners accountable for their actions and the suffering they’ve caused to injury victims.
Common Types of Premises Liability Injuries
Slip and fall accidents frequently result in serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord damage, and traumatic brain injuries that can have long-lasting consequences for victims. Other common premises liability cases include inadequate security leading to assaults or attacks on commercial properties where owners failed to provide reasonable protection. Snow and ice accidents from poorly maintained walkways represent a significant danger in Colorado’s winter months, often resulting in serious injuries that could have been prevented with proper maintenance. Swimming pool accidents and drownings frequently occur due to inadequate supervision or safety measures, particularly affecting children. Elevator or escalator malfunctions, injuries from falling merchandise or debris in retail stores, dog bites or animal attacks, and exposure to toxic substances are all premises liability situations our lawyers have successfully handled for injured clients seeking justice and compensation.
Protecting Your Rights After a Slip, Trip, or Fall Accident
After suffering a premises liability injury, take these immediate steps to protect your legal rights and strengthen your potential case. First, seek medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries, as prompt medical documentation creates a crucial link between the accident and your injuries. Document the accident scene with photos and videos before conditions change, capturing the hazardous condition that caused your fall. Report the incident to the property owner or manager immediately, ensuring there’s an official record of what happened. Collect contact information from witnesses who saw the accident occur, as their testimony can significantly strengthen your claim. Preserve evidence like the shoes and clothing worn during the accident, as these items may demonstrate you weren’t at fault. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies without legal representation, as these statements can be manipulated to minimize your claim. Contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC for a free consultation to understand your rights and how our premises liability attorneys will fight for the full compensation you deserve for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from a property owner’s negligence.
Wrongful Death Claims
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the profound grief that follows losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. Our dedicated attorneys provide compassionate guidance through Colorado’s wrongful death laws while fighting for the compensation your family deserves after suffering such a devastating loss.
Understanding Wrongful Death Laws and Your Legal Options
Colorado law allows certain family members to pursue wrongful death claims when negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions cause a loved one’s death. The legal system provides a pathway to hold responsible parties accountable while helping families manage the financial aftermath of an unexpected loss. Surviving spouses, children, and sometimes parents may seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the immeasurable loss of companionship and emotional support. These cases have strict two-year statutes of limitations, making timely action essential to preserve your rights and ensure your family’s case can move forward. Understanding the complex legal framework surrounding these claims is crucial for ensuring your family receives proper justice and the financial support needed during this difficult time. Our wrongful death attorneys have extensive experience navigating these sensitive cases, providing both the legal expertise and compassionate support families need when pursuing justice for their loved one.

Medical Malpractice
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the devastating impact medical malpractice can have on your life and well-being. When healthcare professionals fail to provide the standard of care you deserve, our experienced attorneys stand ready to help you navigate the complex legal process and seek the compensation you’re entitled to. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to a patient. Our dedicated legal team has successfully represented numerous injury victims in these challenging cases, securing the compensation they need for recovery and future care.
Signs of Medical Malpractice and When to Take Action
If you’ve experienced unexpected complications, received a delayed diagnosis, or suffered injuries during treatment, you might be a victim of medical malpractice. These serious healthcare errors can lead to devastating consequences for patients and families. Warning signs include surgical errors such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside the body, medication mistakes involving incorrect dosages or prescribing medications with harmful interactions, and birth injuries resulting from negligent prenatal care or delivery procedures. Healthcare provider’s failure to diagnose a condition despite clear symptoms or delayed diagnosis of serious conditions like cancer can significantly worsen outcomes for patients. Colorado law typically allows you just two years from when you discovered (or should have discovered) the malpractice to file a claim, making prompt action essential to protect your rights. Don’t wait—contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC today for a free consultation to evaluate your case and understand your legal options before this critical deadline expires.
Expert Guidance for Medical Malpractice Victims
Our attorneys bring decades of experience in successfully handling complex medical malpractice claims that require specialized knowledge and resources. We work with qualified medical experts to thoroughly investigate your case, establish the standard of care that was breached by your healthcare provider, and demonstrate how this negligence directly caused your injuries and suffering. Medical malpractice cases require specialized knowledge of both medicine and law—expertise our firm provides through our network of medical professionals and our attorneys’ extensive experience with these challenging cases. We handle all aspects of your claim while you focus on healing, from gathering and analyzing medical records to consulting with expert witnesses who can testify about proper standards of care. Our legal team fights to secure compensation for medical expenses related to corrective treatments, lost wages during your recovery period, pain and suffering from unnecessary procedures or complications, and future care needs resulting from permanent injuries. Throughout this process, we provide compassionate support, understanding the physical, emotional, and financial toll medical mistakes take on victims and their families. Call us at 303-209-9395 to discuss your potential medical malpractice case with our compassionate legal team and learn how we can help you pursue justice and compensation.
Products Liability
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the devastating impact defective products can have on your life. Our experienced attorneys are committed to helping victims of dangerous and faulty products secure the compensation they deserve. When manufacturers prioritize profits over safety, we stand ready to hold them accountable and fight for your rights as an advocate for injury victims affected by negligent product design or manufacturing.
Recognizing Defective Products and Understanding Your Rights
Defective products can appear in three main forms that can lead to serious injuries or even wrongful death in the most severe cases. Design defects represent fundamental flaws in product conception that make an item inherently dangerous even when manufactured correctly, such as a vehicle with an unstable center of gravity. Manufacturing defects emerge during production when quality control fails, creating individual items that deviate from their intended design, like contaminated medication or improperly assembled equipment. Marketing defects involve inadequate warnings or instructions that fail to alert consumers to non-obvious dangers or proper use procedures. As a consumer, you have the right to expect products to be reasonably safe when used as intended, and manufacturers have a legal duty to ensure their products don’t pose unreasonable hazards. Colorado law protects consumers from unreasonably dangerous products, allowing you to seek compensation when manufacturers, distributors, or retailers fail to meet safety standards. Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC can help you navigate these complex cases and establish liability against powerful corporations that may attempt to avoid responsibility for the harm their products have caused.
Pursuing Compensation for Injuries Caused by Faulty Products
If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from your injuries. Our experienced product liability attorneys will thoroughly assess your case to determine the full extent of your damages and develop a comprehensive claim strategy. Product liability claims often involve multiple responsible parties in the distribution chain, from manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers, creating opportunities to pursue compensation from several sources with insurance coverage. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to identify all potential defendants and build compelling cases that demonstrate how the defective product directly caused your injuries. We work with industry experts, engineers, and safety specialists to demonstrate how the product failed, why that failure occurred, and how that failure caused your specific injuries. With strict deadlines for filing these claims in Colorado, it’s crucial to contact us promptly after an injury occurs to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights. Our team will guide you through every step of this complex legal process while you focus on recovery. Call Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC today at (303) 209-9395 for a free consultation to discuss your product liability case and learn how we can help you secure the justice and compensation you deserve.
Workers’ Compensation
At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, we understand the challenges injured workers face when navigating the complex workers’ compensation system. Our experienced attorneys guide Colorado workers through every step of the claims process, ensuring they receive the full benefits they deserve after a workplace injury. With our team’s extensive knowledge of workers’ compensation law, we help clients overcome insurance company tactics designed to minimize benefits and get them back on their feet.
Navigating the Workers’ Compensation Process Smoothly
Workers’ compensation claims require careful attention to detail and strict adherence to deadlines that can significantly impact your recovery. Missing a filing deadline or making documentation errors can jeopardize your benefits and leave you struggling with medical bills and lost income. Our team at Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC handles the paperwork, meets deadlines, and communicates with insurance companies while you focus on recovery and healing from your work-related injuries. We thoroughly investigate your workplace accident, gathering critical evidence including witness statements, accident reports, and safety violation documentation to establish how your injury occurred. Our attorneys work closely with medical professionals to develop comprehensive medical evidence that clearly links your injuries to your employment and accurately reflects their severity. Whether you’re filing an initial claim after a work injury or appealing a denial of benefits, our attorneys ensure no detail is overlooked and all procedural requirements are met to strengthen your case and maximize your chances of success.
Maximizing Benefits and Protecting Your Rights at Work
Colorado workers’ compensation provides specific benefits designed to support injured workers, but insurance companies often attempt to minimize these crucial payments. These benefits include comprehensive medical treatment coverage for injury-related care, temporary disability payments while you’re unable to work, permanent disability compensation for lasting impairments, and vocational rehabilitation services if you cannot return to your previous position. Insurance companies frequently challenge legitimate claims by disputing the severity of injuries, arguing they’re pre-existing conditions unrelated to work, or claiming you can return to work before you’ve fully recovered. Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC fights for your maximum entitled benefits, challenging improper claim denials and premature termination of benefits through aggressive representation. We protect clients from workplace retaliation for filing claims, ensuring your job remains secure while you exercise your legal rights. For workers with permanent disabilities, we work diligently to secure appropriate long-term support that accounts for your diminished earning capacity and ongoing medical needs. Don’t navigate this complex process alone—contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC today for a free consultation about your workplace injury claim and learn how our experienced legal team can help you secure the full benefits you deserve while protecting your rights throughout the recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Do I really need a lawyer, or can I handle this myself?
While you have the right to handle your claim alone, insurance companies have teams focused on minimizing payouts for injury cases. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney levels the playing field by managing complex paperwork, handling challenging negotiations, and countering aggressive tactics used by insurers. Personal injury lawyers understand how to properly value your claim, including future medical expenses and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Studies consistently show that accident victims with legal representation receive significantly higher compensation than those who attempt to navigate the process alone, even after attorney fees are considered. Let a skilled personal injury lawyer protect your rights while you focus on recovery.
The other driver’s insurance company is calling and wants a recorded statement. What should I do?
Never give a recorded statement without consulting a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters may ask seemingly innocent questions designed to undermine your personal injury claim and reduce your compensation. Their questions are often strategically crafted to extract statements that can be taken out of context or used to shift blame onto you for the accident. Politely decline their request and inform them you will have your attorney contact them to protect your rights. Remember that anything you say can significantly impact your ability to recover fair compensation for your injuries. A personal injury lawyer from Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC can properly prepare you for any necessary statements and ensure the insurance company doesn’t take advantage of you during this vulnerable time after an accident.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Colorado law sets strict deadlines called statutes of limitations, which restrict the time you have to file a lawsuit after an injury. For most personal injury cases, including car accidents, you typically have two years from the injury date or discovery of the injury to file your claim. However, certain types of cases have different deadlines—claims against government entities may have notice requirements as short as 182 days. Missing this crucial deadline means you permanently lose your right to compensation, regardless of how strong your case might be. This is why contacting an attorney promptly is essential to protect your legal rights and ensure all necessary documents are filed correctly and on time. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will identify the specific deadlines that apply to your unique case and take immediate action to preserve your claim.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Colorado follows modified comparative negligence laws, which means you can still recover damages even if you share some fault for your accident—provided you are less than 50% at fault for the incident. Your compensation will be reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault as determined in your case. For example, if you’re found 20% responsible for an accident with total damages of $100,000, your recovery would be reduced by 20% to $80,000. Our skilled lawyers work diligently to minimize any percentage of fault assigned to you through thorough investigation and compelling evidence presentation. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to try to shift blame to injured victims, and we counter these arguments effectively to maximize your compensation. Don’t let concerns about partial fault stop you from seeking the recovery you deserve—let us evaluate your case and explain how these laws apply to your specific situation.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Case timelines vary significantly depending on factors including the complexity of the accident, severity of injuries, clarity of liability, and cooperation of involved insurance companies. Some straightforward cases may settle within months, while more complex litigation involving catastrophic injuries or contested liability might take one to two years or longer to resolve. Throughout your case, our attorneys maintain open and regular communication, so you always understand where your case stands and what to expect next. We balance the need for timely resolution with our commitment to securing maximum compensation—rushing to accept an early settlement offer often results in significantly less compensation than your case truly warrants. Our experience allows us to provide realistic timeframes based on the specific circumstances of your injury case while working efficiently toward resolution.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation, with more than 90% resolved without a trial. Our skilled negotiators often secure excellent settlements without litigation, saving you time and stress. However, if insurers refuse to offer fair settlements that truly compensate you for your injuries and damages, we are fully prepared to advocate vigorously in trial to secure the justice you deserve. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens our negotiating position and ensures we’re ready if litigation becomes necessary. This thorough preparation often motivates insurance companies to make better settlement offers rather than risk facing us in court. Throughout the process, we’ll advise you on the strength of settlement offers and help you make informed decisions about whether to accept a settlement or proceed to trial based on your best interests.
Navigating a personal injury claim can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Contact Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC at (303) 209-9395 today for your free consultation and let us provide the expert guidance and dedicated advocacy to protect your future. Our experienced personal injury lawyers will fight for the maximum compensation you deserve while you focus on recovery.
