Local Convenience vs. Trial‑Tested Firepower for Colorado Springs Injury Victims
You absolutely can hire a lawyer down the street from your home in Colorado Springs. The question is: Do you want “convenient” or do you want “relentless and trial‑tested”?
Here’s why many Colorado Springs residents skip the closest office and drive to our Denver headquarters instead.
We’re Built for Serious, Complex Cases
Most “local generalists” handle a bit of everything: minor fender‑benders, basic slip‑and‑falls, maybe some criminal or family work on the side.
Cheney Galluzzi & Howard is different:
- We are personal injury lawyers—period.
- We have trial-tested experience with catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and life‑altering injuries like TBI and spinal damage.
- We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Insurance companies know our reputation and negotiate differently when our name is on the file.
When your crash on Powers Blvd has left you with a possible brain injury, you don’t need a dabbler. You need a team that routinely litigates high‑stakes cases across Colorado, including El Paso County.
Internal Resource: Learn more about how we handle high‑speed collisions on Powers Blvd on our dedicated car accident page.
Current Law Changes: We’re Ahead of the Curve
Most websites still talk about old Colorado damages caps. We’ve already built our strategies around the 2025 update:
- As of January 1, 2025, the cap on non‑economic damages (pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life) has increased to $1.5 million.
- For catastrophic cases—brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, permanent disability—this increase can change everything about how your case should be prepared and valued.
- Insurance companies are scrambling to quietly adjust their playbook. We’re not just aware of the change—we’re using it as leverage in settlement negotiations and at trial.
If you suffered life‑altering injuries like TBI in a wreck at I‑25 & North Nevada or on Powers & Stetson Hills, you need a team that actually understands how to build and document a claim that could approach these 2025 caps—not a firm recycling guidance from 2019.
Military, TRICARE, and Federal Liens: We Handle the Mess Others Avoid
Colorado Springs is a military town. That’s a strength—and a legal complication.
If you’re active duty, a veteran, or a military family member treated through TRICARE, your case likely involves federal liens and a “federal right of recovery.” That means:
- TRICARE has a legal right to be reimbursed from your settlement for medical care it paid related to your accident.
- Mishandling this can leave you with a settlement that looks good on paper but leaves you with very little in your pocket after reimbursement.
We routinely:
- Work with clients stationed at Fort Carson, Peterson SFB, and the Air Force Academy.
- Coordinate with Fort Carson Legal Assistance and other base resources when needed.
- Directly negotiate TRICARE lien recovery to reduce what has to be paid back, using the full scope of federal rules and Colorado law.
That’s the kind of niche, high‑stakes work many smaller outfits avoid because it’s time‑consuming and technical. For our military clients, this isn’t just paperwork—it’s whether you and your family can actually move forward after the case ends.

Easy to Work With—Even From Colorado Springs
We know you’re hurting. Driving to Denver over and over isn’t realistic, especially right after a serious crash. So we make it as painless as possible:
- Virtual consultations and follow‑up meetings by phone or video.
- E‑sign paperwork so you don’t have to come in just to sign forms.
- In‑person meetings are timed around your medical schedule and needs—not ours.
- When you do come up, it’s a straight shot up I‑25 from Colorado Springs to Denver.
The reality: you don’t have to choose between a top‑tier Denver injury firm and your own comfort. We’ve built our process for injured clients all along the Front Range—from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins.
Wherever your crash or injury happened—from a Powers Boulevard intersection to a slip‑and‑fall in Downtown Colorado Springs—our commitment is the same:
Colorado Springs Commuter FAQs
Do I need to live in Denver to hire Cheney Galluzzi & Howard?

Being a Denver‑based personal injury law firm actually helps us:
- We regularly appear in courts across Colorado, including the 4th Judicial District (El Paso & Teller Counties).

- Much of the work can be done by phone, email, or video, so you only come to Denver when it truly benefits your case.
Our job is to handle the legal fight so you can focus on medical appointments, family, and healing in Colorado Springs.
How far is the drive from Colorado Springs to your office?
From central Colorado Springs (Downtown) to our Denver office, plan on:
- Roughly 60–75 minutes in normal traffic
- Almost entirely a straight shot up I‑25 North
For many clients with serious injuries, making that drive once in a while to work with a trial‑tested, people‑first firm is a trade‑off they’re glad they made—especially when the outcome can shape the rest of their life.
And remember, you won’t be doing that drive alone:
- Free initial consultation
- No upfront fees—we work on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay us unless we win
- A team that treats you like a person, not a file number
Why Should A Colorado Springs Family Work With You?
You don’t need a lawyer who has to Google “Powers & Stetson Hills” to understand your crash. You need a team that already knows how dangerous El Paso County roads have become and how local adjusters try to spin your story.
We see the same patterns, over and over:
- High‑speed crashes on Powers Boulevard
Intersections like Powers & Stetson Hills and Powers & Barnes are notorious for T‑bones and left‑turn collisions. Local drivers know the lights, the speeding, and the rush-hour chaos. Insurance adjusters know it too—and they’ll still claim you “should have seen it coming” to push blame onto you. - I‑25 pileups near Fillmore and North Nevada
The I‑25 & West Fillmore interchange and the stretch by I‑25 & North Nevada are frequent sites for high‑speed merges and multi‑vehicle wrecks. When a truck or SUV comes in too hot, the result can be catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. - Winter ice, black ice, and “just an accident” excuses
From Highway 24 heading in from Woodland Park to shaded stretches around Briargate, winter creates black ice that drivers love to blame. We know how to show a jury that it wasn’t the weather—it was a driver going too fast for the conditions. - Serving the communities where you actually live and work
We regularly help people who live, work, and serve around:
- Briargate and Stetson Hills
- Downtown Colorado Springs and Old Colorado City
- Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy
When you call us from Colorado Springs, we don’t treat you like a number from “out of town.” You’re our neighbor along the Front Range. We understand El Paso County crash trends, the 34% increase in fatal incidents in 2024, and what that means when an adjuster pretends your case is “no big deal.”
It’s more than money. It’s about justice, dignity, and helping you rebuild your life.
