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 Henry take Marana cases personally?
- Henry Beam, personally. A Marana case starts with a free consultation with Henry, a former prosecutor, and he keeps it rather than passing it to staff: the records, the insurer, and the lawsuit if one is needed. No fee unless we win.
How long is there to file a Marana injury claim?
- Most Arizona injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Claims against the Town of Marana, Pima County, or the State require written notice within 180 days and a lawsuit within one year after the claim accrues.
Who pays medical bills after a Marana crash?
- Typically the at-fault driver’s liability insurer, once responsibility is established. Optional coverages on the injured person’s own auto policy, such as medical payments or underinsured motorist coverage, may also apply.

What happened in Marana?
01 / I-10 & interchanges · Marana
Marana car accident lawyer: I-10, its interchanges, and the work zones around them.
Interstate 10 cuts through Marana, and several of its interchanges are being studied, rebuilt, or proposed for rebuilding.
- ADOT reported 244 injury crashes in Marana during 2024.
- ADOT is conducting a traffic circulation study of I-10 between Marana Road and Cortaro Road, covering every intersection in between. ADOT’s study is weighing options; its posted schedule, which is subject to change, runs into winter 2026.
- The Town is rebuilding the Tangerine Road interchange at I-10 and anticipates completion by March 2027.
- The Town is seeking funds to rebuild the Cortaro Road interchange and build an overpass above the Union Pacific Railroad.
Beyond the interchange itself, a later railroad phase of the Tangerine project, not yet scheduled and still subject to Union Pacific and Arizona Corporation Commission approvals, is expected to close the Tangerine rail crossing for about 8 weeks. A crash inside a shifting work zone can raise questions about lane markings, signs, and temporary signals, so photos of the layout taken soon after the collision are worth keeping. Liability limits on the at-fault driver, plus any optional coverage on the injured person’s own policy, often determine which sources are available.

Questions after an interstate or ramp crash
- Did the crash happen on I-10 itself, on a ramp, or at the signal where the ramp meets a town road?
- Were cones, barrels, or temporary lane shifts in place, and has anyone photographed them?
- What policy limits does the other driver carry, and what does your own declarations page add?
02 / Impaired drivers · Marana
Marana drunk driving accident lawyer: DUI cases seen from the prosecution and the defense.
Henry prosecuted DUIs in Mohave County as a Deputy County Attorney, so he knows how these cases are built and which records matter.
- ADOT linked 42 Marana crashes to alcohol in 2024; 2 people died and 31 were hurt in them.
- For federal fiscal year 2025, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety awarded Marana Police a grant to run DUI enforcement throughout the town.
- An injury claim against an impaired driver is a civil matter that runs apart from the criminal case and does not depend on a conviction.
The State controls a DUI prosecution and its calendar. The person who was hurt brings a separate civil claim against the impaired driver, usually handled by that driver’s insurer, and a plea bargain, a reduced charge, or a postponed hearing in criminal court does not resolve it. Arrest reports, the timing of breath or blood testing, and statements made at the scene can still shape the civil claim.
Sources: ADOT 2024 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Table 2-5; Town of Marana: Marana Police Department GOHS grants (FFY 2025); A.R.S. § 28-1381 (DUI)
Points to check about the impaired driver
- Did Marana Police or DPS troopers make the arrest or issue a citation?
- Has a victim advocate or anyone from a prosecutor’s office made contact?
- Which liability and personal auto policies could respond to the claim?
03 / Intersections · Marana
Marana intersection accident lawyer: arterials being widened and new signals.
Several Marana arterials are being widened, with new signals planned or added, and intersection crashes on them usually come down to who had the right of way.
- The Town’s Rattlesnake Pass project widens Twin Peaks Road to two lanes each way with a landscaped median and adds signals at Silverbell Road and at Saguaro Peaks Road.
- The Town lists a four-lane widening of Tangerine Road, from I-10 to west of Marana Tech Drive, as a construction project with sidewalks and a multi-use path.
- Marana Police received a federal fiscal year 2025 GOHS grant for speed and traffic enforcement across the town, including the purchase of LIDAR equipment.
A new signal changes how drivers behave at a corner, and new turn lanes and medians change sight lines. Arizona generally divides fault among everyone who contributed to a crash, and an injured person’s own share generally lowers the recovery rather than barring it. Signal timing, lane markings, and the vehicles’ resting positions, photographed before they are moved, help sort out those shares. The Tangerine and Twin Peaks projects are adding multi-use paths, and a Loop extension into North Marana and Gladden Farms opened in 2024.

What an intersection claim turns on
- Which direction was each vehicle traveling, and what did the signal show each driver?
- Is there video from a traffic camera, a nearby business, or a dash camera?
- Was a pedestrian or cyclist on a crosswalk or path involved?
04 / Wrongful death · Marana
Marana wrongful death lawyer: a measured first step for a grieving family.
Arizona law spells out who may bring a wrongful death action, and sorting that out is usually the first step for a family.
- ADOT counted 7 people killed in Marana crashes during 2024.
- A.R.S. § 12-612 allows the action to be brought by a surviving spouse, child, parent or guardian, or personal representative.
- Relatives who live out of state can be included in the first conversation with Henry.
After a fatal collision a family faces two separate questions: whether someone else is legally responsible, and who has authority to act for the family. A consultation can go over what the investigating agency has reported so far and which relatives should be involved, well before anyone decides whether to file suit.

Topics for a family’s first call
- Which agency is investigating the crash, and has a report been completed?
- Which relatives want to be part of the decisions ahead?
- How should calls from insurance adjusters be handled for now?

Your next steps
Two days after a Marana collision: what to do.
Getting hurt people help comes before anything on this list. A relative or friend can handle most of the rest.
Get help, then save the paperwork
Get emergency help for anyone badly injured. Discharge papers and records from each visit, beginning with the first, document the injury from the start.
Note who responded
Write down whether Marana Police or DPS troopers came to the scene, since that determines where the report will be requested.
Photograph the scene and any work zone
Capture vehicle positions, damage, plates, signals, and any cones or temporary lane shifts. Collect names and numbers from witnesses before they leave.
Request the report
Marana Police reports come from the department’s Records Unit, in person or by mail. Trooper reports are requested from DPS instead.
Wait before talking to the other insurer
Nothing requires a recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurer before a lawyer has reviewed the claim.

Working with Henry
How a Marana case moves from first call to signed agreement.
Most of the early work on a Marana case is Henry’s own: he takes the first call, reads the report and the records, and deals with the insurers himself.
A scheduled phone consultation
Choose an open slot on Henry’s calendar. During that consultation he goes over the crash, the injuries, and the insurance picture with you, and nothing needs to be collected first.
Henry’s read on the bills
An adjuster’s letter or a set of bills goes to Henry, who looks it over himself and tells the client what it means for the claim.
Henry himself, with meetings when they help
Once hired, Henry is the lawyer you deal with on the case. When an in-person meeting would help, he arranges one.
The insurance company fights to pay less. Henry fights for more.
Timing matters
Injury claim deadlines for Marana 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Arizona injury lawsuit arising from a Marana crash | 2 years | A.R.S. § 12-542 |
| Written notice of claim to the Town of Marana, Pima County, or the State | 180 days | A.R.S. § 12-821.01 |
| Lawsuit against one of those public entities, measured from when the claim accrues (usually the date of injury) | 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 Marana injury lawyer.
Direct answers about crash reports, fault, insurance, and working with Henry from Marana.
How do I get a Marana Police crash report?
Request it from the Marana Police Department Records Unit, either in person after calling ahead or by mailing a written request to 11555 W. Civic Center Drive, Bldg D, Marana, AZ 85653. The Records Unit says mailed requests are processed and returned in roughly 5 to 10 working days.
Who investigates a crash on I-10 in Marana?
Usually DPS troopers, because the Department of Public Safety generally works crashes on interstates and state highways, while Marana Police usually handle town roads. Trooper reports come from the DPS Department Records Unit, which receives completed reports within 14 days. Marana Police reports go through the town’s own Records Unit instead.
Is any Marana hospital a state-designated trauma center?
No. The state’s designated trauma list has no Marana address. Northwest Medical Center on North La Cholla Boulevard in Tucson appears under Level III Trauma Centers, while Banner University Medical Center – Tucson Campus and Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital appear under Level I Trauma Centers on that list.
What road work is happening at Tangerine Road and I-10 in Marana?
The Town of Marana is rebuilding the interchange: relocating the signalized ramp on the west side of I-10, adding stacking space and turn lanes, and realigning the eastbound on- and off-ramps, with completion anticipated by March 2027. Cones and temporary lanes shift as the work moves, so photos of the layout can matter after a crash.
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.
