We Don’t Just Know the Law. We Know Westminster.

You’re hurt. Confused. Maybe scared about what comes next. And if your injury happened in Westminster, you need more than a lawyer who can recite Colorado statutes—you need someone who understands exactly where and how your accident happened.

Insurance adjusters will claim “conditions were safe” or “you should have seen it coming.” But they’re not the ones navigating the construction maze at 88th & Sheridan every morning. They don’t know about the “Tejon Trap” at 120th Avenue, where blinding sun glare during school drop-off has caused countless collisions. They’ve never hit a patch of “Shadow Ice” on US-36 between Pecos and Federal—the kind that appears safe until it’s too late.

At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard, a personal injury law firm in the Denver Metro area, we know the difference between a routine fender-bender and a negligence case caused by Westminster’s specific hazards. Whether you were rear-ended at the Wadsworth & 92nd merging chaos or injured at The Orchard Town Center, we use that local knowledge to build an unshakeable case for your compensation.

Because this isn’t just about money. It’s about helping you put your life back together.

We Fight the “CommonSpirit” Billing Nightmare

If you were treated at St. Anthony North Health Center on Orchard Parkway, you know the care is excellent. But the billing? That’s a different story.

Many of our Westminster clients face the same frustration: CommonSpirit Health’s billing department sends medical bills to collections before the insurance claim is even resolved. They create liens that can eat into your settlement if you don’t know how to fight back.

That’s where we come in. We communicate directly with their Patient Representative and Grievance departments, ensuring your medical records are accurate and your bills are processed correctly—so you keep more of what you deserve.

We Know the High-Crash Zones

We track crash data from the Westminster Police Department and CDOT. We know that the I-25 & 104th interchange is a designated high-crash zone. We know that the morning sun glare on 120th Avenue near Tejon creates a dangerous blind spot during school drop-offs. We know that US-36 develops invisible ice patches that cause multi-vehicle pileups every winter.

When we negotiate with insurance companies, we use this data to prove that the other driver should have exercised higher caution in these volatile areas. It’s not enough to say “they hit you.” We show why the conditions demanded more care—and why their failure to adjust makes them liable.

Legal Services We Provide in Westminster

Car Accidents: When “Failure to Adjust” Becomes Negligence

To our neighbors in Legacy Ridge and Bradburn Village: We know your commute isn’t easy. If you were hit by a driver who failed to account for the “Ghost Ice” on 104th Avenue, that’s not an “act of God”—that’s negligence.

We handle:

• Rear-End Collisions: We analyze force vectors, vehicle damage patterns, and whiplash severity (WAD I-IV classifications) to prove the full extent of your injuries.
• Sun Glare Accidents: Colorado law requires drivers to reduce speed when visibility is compromised. If someone hit you during the blinding morning glare on 120th, we hold them accountable for “failure to adjust.”
• US-36 Multi-Vehicle Pileups: When black ice causes chain-reaction crashes, liability gets complicated fast. We untangle who’s responsible for what—and fight to ensure you’re not stuck with the bill.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Did you slip on an icy sidewalk outside The Orchard Town Center? Suffer an injury due to inadequate lighting in a parking garage near The Promenade?

Westminster businesses are required to maintain safe premises under Colorado’s premises liability laws. That includes proper ice and snow removal, adequate lighting, and reasonable security measures. When they fail, we hold them accountable.

We understand the friction coefficients of different surfaces. We know the municipal codes that govern snow removal timelines. And we know how to prove that a property owner’s negligence—not your carelessness—caused your injury.

Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death

For families dealing with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, or the devastating loss of a loved one, we provide compassionate, relentless advocacy.

We don’t just calculate your current medical bills. We work with top Colorado medical experts to project lifetime care costs, lost earning capacity, and the true impact on your quality of life. Because it’s more than money—it’s about securing the resources you need to rebuild.

We Stand Up to Insurance Companies

Let’s be clear: Insurance companies have time, money, and entire legal teams dedicated to minimizing what they pay you. They’ll claim you were partially at fault. They’ll argue your injuries aren’t as serious as you say. They’ll delay, deflect, and hope you give up.

We don’t take the insurance company’s word for anything.

We conduct our own independent investigations. We interview witnesses, review police reports, analyze medical records, and consult with accident reconstruction experts when needed. Under Colorado’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages even if you’re partially at fault—as long as your fault is less than 50%.

For example, if your total damages are $100,000 and the insurance company claims you’re 30% at fault, they’ll try to reduce your payout to $70,000. Our job is to fight that percentage down—or eliminate it entirely—so you keep more of what you deserve.

That’s what a trial-tested experience looks like. And it’s why we’ve recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured Coloradans.
