What happened in Globe?
01 / US 60 crashes · Globe
Globe car accident lawyer: US 60 through town and west toward Superior.
Inside Globe, US 60 is a city street with driveways, sidewalks, and curbs; west of Miami, the same highway becomes the mountain highway to the Valley.
- ADOT's 2025 fact sheet said repaving of US 60 between Santee Street (MP 250) and US 70 (MP 252) began in late August 2025, with completion expected by early 2026.
- Near Superior, ADOT is replacing the Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon bridges on US 60, with work continuing into mid-2028. During closures, ADOT sends drivers on a detour over SR 77 and SR 177 through Winkelman.
- An Oct. 12, 2025 flood washed out an embankment at milepost 241, about 3 miles west of Miami. ADOT restored two lanes by Nov. 4, 2025, after an interim repair.
Work zones, lane shifts, and detours change how a crash happens and who may share the blame for it. Arizona assigns each party a separate percentage of fault, which can include a driver, a contractor, or another motorist who forced a sudden stop. Photographs of cones, signs, and lane markings taken on the day of the crash are often the only record of how the road was set up at that moment.
Sources: ADOT fact sheet: US 60, Santee Street to US 70, Globe; ADOT: halfway mark on the US 60 Queen Creek bridge project (April 2026); ADOT: two lanes reopen on US 60 between Superior and Globe-Miami (Nov. 2025); A.R.S. § 12-2506 (fault among several parties)
Facts to pin down on US 60
- Where on US 60 did the collision happen: a city block, a driveway, or a milepost outside town?
- Were construction signs, cones, or a lane closure in place at the time?
- Which agency responded, and what report number did the officer provide?
02 / Impaired drivers · Globe
Globe drunk driving accident lawyer: DUI evidence read by a former prosecutor.
Henry prosecuted DUIs as a Mohave County Deputy County Attorney, so he has seen how these cases are assembled from the first arrest report on.
- ADOT counted 9 alcohol-related crashes in Globe in 2024, injuring 9 people.
- In unincorporated Gila County, outside city and town limits, all 6 traffic deaths in 2024 happened in alcohol-related crashes (county figure, not Globe).
Whether to charge an impaired driver is the State's decision, and the criminal case moves on the State's schedule. The injured person's claim is a separate civil matter against the driver, and that driver's insurer usually pays it. The claim does not depend on a conviction, although breath or blood results and arrest records from the criminal file can become evidence in it.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5; A.R.S. § 28-1381 (DUI)
Questions about the DUI side
- Was the other driver arrested or cited, and by which department?
- Has a prosecutor's office or victim advocate reached out about the charges?
- What coverage does the injured person's own auto policy add?
03 / Motorcycles & open highway · Globe
Globe motorcycle accident lawyer: riders on Gila County highways.
ADOT does not break out motorcycle crashes for Globe, but its county table shows riders made up a large share of Gila County's 2024 deaths.
- Gila County had 51 motorcycle crashes in 2024; 3 riders were killed and 49 injured (county figures, not Globe alone).
- Those 3 motorcyclist deaths were among the 8 traffic deaths ADOT counted countywide that year.
Drivers who turn across a rider's path often say they never saw the motorcycle, and insurers sometimes argue the rider was going too fast. Arizona compares everyone's conduct, and an injured rider's own share of fault generally reduces the recovery rather than ending the claim. Damage to the bike, helmet, and riding gear, along with the scene's sight lines, can show what the other driver should have seen.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 8-13; ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5; A.R.S. § 12-2505 (comparative fault)
What a rider's claim turns on
- Did the other vehicle turn, merge, or pull out in front of the motorcycle?
- Has the bike been kept as it was after the crash, along with the helmet and gear?
- Was the crash in town, on US 60 or US 70, or on a county road?

Your next steps
After a Globe-area crash: the first 48 hours.
A relative or friend can take on several of these steps while the injured person recovers.
Bring in emergency responders
Dial 911 whenever a person in either vehicle is injured. Save discharge papers and receipts from each visit, since those records document the injury.
Note who responded
Write down the officer's name, agency, and report number. That shows whether the report will come from Globe police or DPS.
Photograph the road
Capture vehicle damage, skid marks, work-zone signs or cones, and the nearest cross street or milepost marker.
Collect contact details
Get each driver's name, plate, and insurer, plus phone numbers for anyone who stopped and saw the crash.
Request the report
Globe police reports go through Records or the department's accident-report link. For a trooper's report, DPS asks people to wait at least 14 days before checking whether it is ready.
Slow down on adjuster calls
An insurer may ask to record a conversation within days of the crash. Talking with a lawyer before agreeing is a reasonable step.

Working with Henry
A Globe claim, handled by Henry himself.
Henry's office is in the Phoenix area, and a Globe-Miami case gets his personal attention from the first call through resolution.
A phone consultation first
At the scheduled call, Henry hears what happened in Globe and explains how fault, insurance, and the filing deadlines apply.
Henry looks at the photos himself
Photos, the crash report, and the medical records go to Henry, who looks them over himself before the claim is presented to an insurer.
Henry from start to finish
After hiring, Henry handles the case himself, and the client gets his personal cell number. When sitting down in person would help, a meeting is arranged.
The insurance company fights to pay less. Henry fights for more.
Timing matters
Injury claim deadlines for Globe 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Lawsuit against an at-fault driver or business | 2 years | A.R.S. § 12-542 |
| Written notice of claim to a city, county, or the State | 180 days | A.R.S. § 12-821.01 |
| Lawsuit naming a public body, measured from accrual of the claim | 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.
Your lawyer’s background
From prosecutor to your lawyer.
Henry was licensed in 2009 and started out as a Mohave County Deputy County Attorney, trying many cases there. In 2010 he came to the Tempe area, and he founded Beam Law, PLC in 2012. Prosecuting DUIs shapes how he reads a crash report and checks it against witness accounts. Today he runs his own personal injury practice, with 17+ years of Arizona legal experience. The firm is based in Tempe and does not have a Globe office.

Before you reach out
Questions about hiring a Globe injury lawyer.
Direct answers about crash reports, fault, insurance, and working with Henry from Globe.
Where does a Globe resident get a police crash report?
Contact the Globe Police Department's Records staff, or use the accident-report link on the department's web page, which points to crashdocs.org. The department is at 175 N. Pine St. When a DPS trooper investigated a collision on a state highway, the DPS records unit keeps that report instead.
Is Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center a trauma center?
Yes. Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center in Globe is listed by ADHS under Level IV Trauma Centers, with a designation that runs into 2027. Level I centers on the state list include Flagstaff Medical Center and hospitals in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Records from every hospital, clinic, and therapy visit together document the injury.
Did anyone die in a Globe crash in 2024?
No. ADOT's 2024 table shows zero traffic deaths inside Globe city limits. Gila County recorded 8 deaths countywide, including 6 in unincorporated areas, and all 6 of those came in alcohol-related crashes. Both county figures come from separate rows in ADOT's table, not from Globe's city row.
When can the US 60 bridge work near Superior close the highway?
ADOT's announced schedule limits full closures for the Queen Creek bridge project to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Closures are not expected every one of those days. Drivers heading between Globe and the Valley can plan trips before or after those windows.
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.
