Former prosecutor
Henry started his career as a prosecutor. That background shapes how he reads evidence, police reports, and the other side’s version of events.
Personal attention
Henry handles your case himself. Once you hire him, you get his personal cell number.
Does Camp Verde have a police department?
- No. The Town's law-enforcement agency is the Camp Verde Marshal's Office, which has served Camp Verde since 1986. Its Records Division handles requests for the crash reports its deputies write.
What filing deadlines apply to a Camp Verde injury claim?
- Most Arizona injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. A claim against the Town of Camp Verde, Yavapai County, or the State requires written notice within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year of accrual.
Which insurer usually pays after a Camp Verde crash?
- Typically the liability insurer of the at-fault driver, because the claim runs against that driver. Coverage on the injured person's own policy may also apply, depending on the facts.

Camp Verde is an incorporated town in Yavapai County, and its own law-enforcement agency is the Camp Verde Marshal's Office, which has served the Town since 1986. Interstate 17 runs through town, and ADOT places two of its interchanges in Camp Verde: Middle Verde Road at Exit 290 and State Route 260 at Exit 287.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5 (Yavapai County block); Town of Camp Verde: Marshal's Office; ADOT bulletin: I-17 Middle Verde Road interchange (Exit 290) in Camp Verde (Apr. 19, 2024)
What happened in Camp Verde?
01 / I-17 & SR 260 crashes · Camp Verde
Camp Verde car accident lawyer: I-17 interchanges, SR 260, and town streets.
Which agency wrote the crash report depends on the road: DPS troopers usually work I-17 crashes; on SR 260 and town streets, the report may come from DPS or the Camp Verde Marshal's Office.
- West of I-17, SR 260 is a four-lane divided highway with roundabouts at major intersections and a multiuse path between Wilshire and Cherry Creek roads.
- In 2024, ADOT counted 168 crashes in the Town of Camp Verde, with 2 people killed and 80 injured.
A roundabout or ramp collision often turns on yielding and lane position, so photos of the signs, the lane markings, and where each vehicle stopped carry weight. Arizona generally splits fault among every careless party, and an injured person's own share generally reduces the recovery rather than ending it.
Sources: ADOT bulletin: I-17 Middle Verde Road interchange (Exit 290) in Camp Verde (Apr. 19, 2024); ADOT: State Route 260 widening project in Camp Verde (Apr. 4, 2019); ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5 (Yavapai County block); A.R.S. § 12-2506 (fault among several parties); A.R.S. § 12-2505 (comparative fault)
Details to settle after an interchange or roundabout crash
- What report number appears on the card or exchange form handed out at the scene?
- Was the collision on a ramp, inside a roundabout, on I-17 itself, or on a town street?
- Which driver was supposed to yield, and do photos show the signs and lane lines at that spot?
02 / Impaired drivers · Camp Verde
Camp Verde drunk driving accident lawyer: a former DUI prosecutor on the injury side.
Henry Beam prosecuted DUIs in Mohave County as a Deputy County Attorney, so he knows how these cases are put together and which evidence tends to matter.
- ADOT recorded 9 alcohol-related crashes in the Town of Camp Verde in 2024, which left 5 people injured; none of those crashes killed anyone.
- Across all of Yavapai County that year, ADOT counted 213 alcohol-related crashes, with 11 people killed and 143 injured.
The prosecutor controls the criminal case and its schedule. The injury claim runs against the impaired driver, with that driver's insurer usually paying, so a reduced charge or a dropped case leaves it intact. Records from the arrest, including the officer's observations and the timing of any breath or blood test, can still help show what happened.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5 (Yavapai County block); A.R.S. § 28-1381 (DUI)
What to learn about the driver who was impaired
- Was the driver arrested or cited, and has the arrest report been released?
- Has a victim advocate or prosecutor's office contacted you about the criminal case?
- What liability policy covers the driver, and what coverages are listed on your own policy?
03 / Motorcycle crashes · Camp Verde
Camp Verde motorcycle accident lawyer: county numbers and what a rider's claim needs.
ADOT does not publish motorcycle numbers for Camp Verde itself, but the Yavapai County figures show motorcycle crashes accounting for a large share of the county's traffic deaths.
- Yavapai County, countywide: ADOT counted 140 motorcycle crashes in 2024, with 17 people killed and 122 injured.
- Those 17 motorcycle deaths were part of 63 traffic deaths across all of Yavapai County in 2024, according to ADOT.
- Arizona insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, though a policyholder can turn it down, so the rider's own declarations page matters.
Common rider-crash patterns include a driver turning across the bike's path, pulling out from a side road, or drifting into its lane. Photos of the bike's damage, the road surface, and the vehicles' resting positions help fix the sequence. Riding gear and a helmet from the crash are worth keeping exactly as they are.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 8-13 (county motorcycle crashes); ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5 (Yavapai County block); A.R.S. § 20-259.01 (uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage)
What an injured rider should gather
- Did the other driver turn left, merge, or enter from a driveway or side street into the bike's path?
- Who saw the crash, and did any nearby business or passing driver record video?
- What liability and optional coverages appear on the rider's policy and the other driver's?

Your next steps
The first days after a Camp Verde crash.
None of this has to happen in one day, and a relative or friend can take on most of it.
Get help, then keep every record
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Discharge papers and the records from each later visit document the injury as it changes.
Note who responded
A DPS trooper or a Marshal's Office deputy will usually give out a card or exchange form with the agency name and a report number.
Photograph the scene
If it is safe, capture the ramp or roundabout signs, lane lines, vehicle positions, and damage before anything is moved.
Request the report
For a Marshal's Office report, email the Records Division at cvmorecords@campverde.az.gov. A report written by a DPS trooper is requested from the DPS records unit instead.
Hold off with the other insurer
Nothing requires a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before talking with a lawyer.

Working with Henry
What working with Henry looks like from Camp Verde.
The practice is in Tempe, and a Camp Verde case gets Henry's personal attention from the first call. An in-person meeting is arranged when the case calls for one.
A scheduled call to start
Book a slot on Henry's calendar. During that consultation he goes over the crash, the injuries, and the insurance picture.
Henry reads the paperwork
The crash report, the records, and any insurer letter go to Henry, who reads them himself before the claim is presented.
Henry does the work
After you hire him, Henry handles the case himself, and clients get his personal cell number. Meetings in person are set by arrangement.
The insurance company fights to pay less. Henry fights for more.
Timing matters
Injury claim deadlines for Camp Verde accidents.
Most Arizona injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Claims against a city, county, or the state move much faster, and exceptions can shorten or extend these periods.
| Claim or duty | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary injury lawsuit following a Camp Verde collision | 2 years | A.R.S. § 12-542 |
| Written notice of claim to the Town of Camp Verde, Yavapai County, or the State | 180 days | A.R.S. § 12-821.01 |
| Lawsuit against those public entities, measured from when the claim accrues (usually the injury date) | 1 year | A.R.S. § 12-821 |
Deadlines generally run from when a claim accrues, and exceptions exist. This table is not a calculation of your deadline. If time may be short, seek prompt legal help rather than relying on a future calendar appointment.

Before you reach out
Questions about hiring a Camp Verde injury lawyer.
Direct answers about crash reports, fault, insurance, and working with Henry from Camp Verde.
How do I get a crash report from the Camp Verde Marshal's Office?
Email the Marshal's Office Records Division, which handles report requests. Include the report number, or as many identifying details as possible, such as the date, location, and names involved. If the report has not yet been cleared for release, the records clerk notifies the requester once it becomes available.
Did DPS or the Marshal's Office handle my Camp Verde crash?
The road where it happened is the main clue. DPS troopers usually work I-17 crashes, and their reports reach the DPS records unit within 14 days. On SR 260 and town streets, the report may come from DPS or the Camp Verde Marshal's Office. The card or exchange form from the scene usually names the agency.
Where does Camp Verde stand on the state trauma center list?
Camp Verde has no hospital on the state trauma list, and all of Yavapai County's designated centers are Level IV, Verde Valley Medical Center in Cottonwood among them. Records from every clinic, urgent care, and hospital visit together document how the injury progressed.
Can a Camp Verde injury claim move forward while the DUI case is pending?
Yes. The injury claim against an impaired driver is a civil matter, separate from the criminal prosecution, and it does not need a conviction. Evidence gathered in the criminal case, such as arrest records and test timing, may still help. Arizona's general two-year lawsuit deadline keeps running while the criminal case proceeds.
Do I need a police report or a complete medical file before calling?
No. Start with what happened, where it happened, and how the injury is affecting you. If you have a report number or insurance correspondence, mention it, but you do not need to assemble a complete case file before requesting a consultation. Do not send medical records or other sensitive documents through an initial text or website message.
What does a consultation cost, and how do attorney fees work?
Beam Injury Law offers a free consultation. The contingency fee is 33⅓% of the gross amount recovered if the matter resolves at or before mediation or settlement conference, whether before or after a lawsuit is filed. Filing a lawsuit alone does not increase the fee. If the matter does not resolve at or before mediation or settlement conference, the fee is 40% of the gross amount recovered, even if it later settles without a trial. The 40% rate also applies if the matter proceeds to trial or arbitration or results in a verdict, award, or judgment. No attorney fee is owed if there is no recovery. Case costs and expenses are separate and remain the client's responsibility regardless of recovery. Review the written agreement for the full terms before signing.
