Across Mohave County, ADOT recorded 3,421 crashes in 2024, with 1,576 people injured. Arizona DPS Highway Patrol’s District 1 is based in Kingman, and its troopers cover I-40, US 93, and the state routes around the city. At west Kingman, I-40 and US 93 meet near Beale Street. Phase 1 of ADOT’s interchange rebuild began in July 2024 and is scheduled to finish in 2027. Lanes, ramps, and signs have changed during construction, so a present-day map may not show what was there on the day of a crash. Road work alone does not establish fault.

What happened in Kingman?
01 / Car accidents · Kingman
Kingman car accident lawyer: evidence, injuries, and insurance.
Near the I-40 interchange or on a Kingman street, two questions decide a car accident claim: who caused the crash, and what harm followed.
- ADOT recorded 660 crashes in Kingman in 2024: 249 people injured and 3 killed.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage are optional in Arizona; your declarations page shows whether you have them.
- A driver passing through may carry another state’s insurance; the policy itself needs review.
Vehicle positions, photographs, witness accounts, and available video help show who caused the crash. Medical records and the changes in your work and daily life explain the harm. The insurance review should include your own policy, not just the other driver’s card.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Tables 2-2 and 2-5; Arizona uninsured / underinsured motorist law
Questions worth sorting out
- Does the other driver’s account match the photographs, witnesses, and damage?
- What treatment have you received, and what work or daily activities have you missed?
- Whose insurance should be checked, including yours?
02 / Truck accidents · Kingman
Kingman truck accident lawyer: the evidence beyond the crash scene.
After a truck crash, much of the evidence sits with the trucking company, not at the roadside.
- US 93, which meets I-40 in Kingman, is part of the CANAMEX trade corridor, and has been a four-lane divided highway from Kingman to the Nevada line since 2010.
- After 2001, commercial trucks were banned from crossing Hoover Dam, forcing a 75-mile detour; the bypass bridge that opened in 2010 carries US 93 traffic around the dam.
- Federal rules generally require carriers to keep driver duty-status records for at least six months.
- Those logs document driving and working time; on their own, they do not prove fatigue or fault.
The carrier’s identity, dispatch records, maintenance history, available video, and vehicle data can help test different explanations for the crash. Video and vehicle data can be lost quickly, so addressing preservation early is part of the legal work, not something you need to finish before asking for help.
Sources: ADOT — West Kingman TI feasibility report (US 93 / CANAMEX); ADOT: US 93 widening, Kingman to the Nevada line; FHWA: Hoover Dam bypass bridge (2010); 49 CFR § 395.8 — duty-status records and retention
A different evidence picture
- Who operated the truck, and what company name or numbers were on it?
- Could vehicle data, video, or company records help explain the collision?
- Are injuries, ongoing care, and time away from work being documented?
03 / Motorcycle accidents · Kingman
Kingman motorcycle accident lawyer: reconstruct the ride, not the stereotype.
In Arizona, sharing some of the blame does not automatically end a rider’s claim.
- Arizona’s comparative-negligence law generally reduces damages in proportion to the injured person’s own fault, rather than barring recovery altogether.
- Exceptions exist, including when the injured person’s own conduct was intentional, wilful, or wanton.
- Each vehicle’s path, the sight lines, and the point of contact matter more than assumptions about riders.
Kingman sits in the middle of the longest stretch of Historic Route 66, and west of town the road becomes the BLM’s Route 66 Historic Back Country Byway. For a rider hurt here, photographs, witnesses, the motorcycle’s condition, and riding gear may help evaluate the competing accounts. An insurer’s allegation about your riding is a position to examine against the evidence.
Sources: A.R.S. § 12-2505 — comparative negligence; City of Kingman: Police Department (Route 66); BLM: Route 66 in northwestern Arizona
Put the details before the assumptions
- What were each vehicle’s direction, position, and movements?
- Are there witnesses or photographs that clarify visibility and impact?
- What treatment and limitations followed, beyond the damage to the bike?
04 / Wrongful death · Kingman
Kingman wrongful death lawyer: a private place to start.
Arizona law decides who may bring a wrongful death claim, and not every relative automatically qualifies.
- A surviving spouse, child, or parent may qualify; guardians and personal representatives also have roles under the statute.
- If relatives are spread across Mohave County or outside Arizona, Henry can bring everyone into the first conversation.
A fatal crash raises two questions: whether another party is legally responsible, and who is authorized to pursue the claim. The first conversation can clarify the family relationships, the available information, and any estate questions before decisions about legal action.
Source: A.R.S. § 12-612 — who may bring a wrongful-death action
Questions for a first, private conversation
- What is known so far about the crash and the investigation?
- Which family members should be part of the decisions?
- Has an insurer already reached out, and what is pressing right now?
You didn’t pick this fight. Don’t fight this alone.
No fee unless we win, and the consultation is free.
No attorney fee without a recovery. Case costs and expenses remain your responsibility regardless of recovery.
Your next steps
After a truck or highway crash near Kingman: the first days.
What protects a claim when the crash happened on I-40 or US 93. Henry can help with whatever you cannot get to.
Call for help first
Call 911. Medical care comes first, and the records it creates matter later too.
Pin down exactly where
Note the mile marker or nearest exit, your direction of travel, and any ramp or work zone. Lanes near the west Kingman interchange have changed during construction.
Photograph the truck
Capture the company name and any numbers on the cab door and trailer, along with the scene and the damage.
Get the report details
On I-40, US 93, and state routes, Arizona DPS troopers usually respond; on city streets, Kingman Police. Write down the agency and the report number.
Ask about truck records early
Dispatch records, driver logs, video, and vehicle data sit with the trucking company, and some are kept only for limited periods. Preservation should start early.
Hold off on recorded statements
Before any insurance company records your statement, you can talk it through with a lawyer.

For visitors
Hurt passing through Kingman?
Kingman sits where I-40 meets US 93, so many crashes here involve people from out of state. The claim follows Arizona law and Kingman facts, and Henry handles it the same way.
Care in Kingman and beyond
Kingman Regional Medical Center is a state-designated Level IV trauma center. If care continued in Las Vegas, Phoenix, or back home, keep a list of every provider and appointment date.
The crash location sets the rules
What counts is where the crash happened, not where you live now. Henry practices Arizona law; when another state’s law or courts might come into play, he reviews that for your specific case.
Your claim stays in Arizona
Henry handles the Arizona side: the report, the carriers, the deadlines. As a former Mohave County prosecutor, he knows the agencies and the courts a Kingman claim runs through, and he keeps it moving while you recover at home.
The insurance company fights to pay less. Henry fights for more.
Timing matters
Injury claim deadlines for Kingman accidents.
Most Arizona injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Claims against a city, county, or the state move much faster, and trucking records follow their own federal retention rules.
| Claim or duty | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Most Arizona injury lawsuits | 2 years | A.R.S. § 12-542 |
| Notice of claim to an Arizona city, county, or state agency | 180 days | A.R.S. § 12-821.01 |
| Suing an Arizona public entity | 1 year | A.R.S. § 12-821 |
| How long carriers must keep driver logs (not your deadline) | 6 months | 49 CFR § 395.8 — duty-status records and retention |
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 Kingman injury lawyer.
Direct answers about I-40 crashes, trucks, and working with Henry from Kingman.
What should I do after a truck accident on I-40 near Kingman?
Get medical care first. Note the mile marker or nearest exit and your direction of travel, photograph the truck’s company name and door numbers, and write down which agency responded. Carriers generally must keep driver logs for at least six months, so evidence preservation should start early; that is not your lawsuit deadline.
How do I get a crash report after an accident near Kingman?
It depends on who investigated. Arizona DPS troopers handle crashes on I-40, US 93, and state routes around Kingman; DPS releases those reports through its Public Services Portal, generally within 48 hours for people involved. Crashes on city streets go through the Kingman Police Department. Note the agency and report number at the scene.
Who pays after a crash with a semi-truck in Kingman?
More than one policy may be involved: the trucking company’s or the vehicle owner’s commercial coverage and, in some cases, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Which applies depends on who employed or contracted the driver and on the policy terms. Identifying the carrier early is part of the first conversation.
Does sharing some fault end my Kingman motorcycle accident claim?
Generally not. Arizona’s comparative-negligence law generally reduces damages in proportion to the injured person’s own fault rather than barring recovery altogether, with different rules for intentional, wilful, or wanton conduct. A careful reconstruction of each vehicle’s path and the point of contact matters, because the fault percentages directly change the recovery.
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.
Can I get help if I have already left Kingman after the accident?
Yes. Tell Henry where the accident happened and where you are now being treated, including any providers outside Arizona. Henry is licensed in Arizona; any issues involving another state's law, courts, or attorney admission require individual review.
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.
