Burn injuries cause devastating pain and lifelong scarring. Henry fights for comprehensive compensation.
No legal fees unless we win · Serving all of Arizona
If you suffered a burn injury in Arizona due to another party's negligence (vehicle fire, workplace incident, product defect, building fire, chemical exposure), you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and future care. Burn cases frequently require long-term treatment at specialized burn centers and may involve multiple surgeries over years. Liable parties can include negligent drivers, property owners, product manufacturers, or employers. Arizona's two-year statute of limitations applies (ARS § 12-542).
After a burn injury, your focus should be on healing — not fighting insurance companies. Here's what we take off your plate:
Insurance Company Calls
We deal with the adjusters so you never have to take another stressful call.
Medical Records & Bills
Coordinating with burn centers, plastic surgeons, and rehabilitation facilities to document every expense.
Scarring Documentation
Working with medical experts to document permanent scarring, disfigurement, and the emotional impact so every category of harm is on the record.
Negotiation & Settlement
We build the evidence and negotiate hard — and we're prepared to take it to trial if the offer doesn't reflect your injuries.
Deadlines & Paperwork
Arizona has strict filing deadlines. We track every one so you never miss a date.
Healing Timeline Documentation
Photographing every stage of recovery and coordinating with burn specialists to project future surgical needs.
If you or a family member suffered a burn injury, these steps can help protect your case:
Severe burns should be treated at a verified burn center when possible. Follow all medical recommendations closely.
Document the initial burns, each surgery, and the healing process over time. This visual record is powerful evidence.
Burn treatment is expensive and ongoing. Every bill, prescription, and therapy session should be documented.
Burn injuries often require years of reconstructive surgery. An early settlement will not cover future procedures.
Anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal from visible scarring are compensable. Consider counseling and document it.
We will review your burn injury, connect you with medical experts, and calculate the full cost of your recovery.
Burn injuries come in many forms, each with unique medical and legal considerations.
Burns from fire, steam, hot liquids, or hot surfaces. The most common type of burn injury in accident cases.
Exposure to acids, alkalis, or industrial chemicals that destroy skin tissue. Common in workplace and trucking accidents.
Contact with electrical sources causes deep tissue damage that may not be visible on the surface. Internal injuries can be severe.
Skin scraped against pavement in motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accidents. Can require skin grafts for severe cases.
Gas explosions, propane tank failures, and industrial blasts cause devastating flash burns and blast injuries.
Breathing superheated air or toxic fumes damages the airway and lungs. Often accompanies severe burn cases.
Real settlements, prepared like trials — by a lawyer who started his career prosecuting cases.
Uninsured Motorist
Pre-trial recovery for client struck by an uninsured driver. Pursued claim through client's own UM coverage.
Auto Accident
Client suffered multiple injuries in a vehicle collision. Settlement covered medical bills and lost wages.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different. Results listed include cases where Henry Beam served as lead or co-lead counsel.

Burn treatment is among the most intensive and costly in medicine. Understanding the process helps build a stronger case.
Severe burns require treatment at specialized burn centers with dedicated surgical teams, intensive care units, and infection control protocols. Hospitalization can last weeks or months. Arizona has verified burn centers equipped to handle the most severe cases.
Third-degree and fourth-degree burns often require multiple skin graft surgeries and years of reconstructive procedures. Each surgery carries its own risks, recovery period, and cost. We document the full surgical plan to ensure compensation covers every anticipated procedure.
Burn injuries can cause contractures — tightening of the skin that limits range of motion. Ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pressure garment therapy are often necessary for years. We work with rehabilitation specialists to project long-term therapy costs.
Arizona law recognizes scarring and disfigurement as distinct categories of damages, separate from medical bills and pain and suffering. Burn victims may recover compensation for:
Permanent visible scarring — Compensation for the physical alteration and its impact on appearance and self-image.
Emotional and psychological impact — Anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal caused by visible disfigurement.
Future reconstructive procedures — Anticipated surgeries, laser treatments, and cosmetic procedures to reduce scarring.
Loss of enjoyment of life — Activities and experiences the victim can no longer participate in due to their injuries.
Arizona law entitles burn injury victims to recover for the full impact of their injuries. We fight for every category that applies to your case:
2-Year Statute of Limitations
In Arizona, burn injury victims generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Exceptions may shorten this deadline. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

If a Government Entity Was Involved — Shorter Deadlines Apply
When the at-fault party may be a government entity — a city or county, a public school, a state agency, ADOT, a police or sheriff department, a public hospital, or a government-owned road or vehicle — Arizona imposes two deadlines that are much shorter than the general two-year period:
Missing the 180-day notice typically bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the case is. Early legal review helps identify whether a government defendant applies and protects both deadlines.
Call Henry for a free, no-pressure conversation about your burn injury case.
He'll listen to what happened and give you an honest assessment of your situation. No strings attached.
