Step by step

How Henry Works With Clients Around Arizona

The same way he works with a client in Tempe. Here is what to expect from the first conversation on.

  1. A free consultation with Henry

    Call the main line, book a time on Henry's calendar, or text him directly. Henry hears what happened and gives you a straight answer about whether he can help.

  2. A written agreement, in plain terms

    If Henry takes the case, the contingency fee agreement is sent to you to review and sign. It spells out the fee, case expenses, and each side's responsibilities before you commit to anything.

  3. Henry builds the file

    Crash reports, medical records, billing, and insurance information: the firm requests them so you can focus on treatment. Henry reads the records himself.

  4. His cell number, not a case manager

    Clients receive Henry's personal cell number and can text him. Updates come from the lawyer handling the case, not from a department.

  5. A lawsuit, if the case needs one

    If a fair resolution is not offered, Henry files in the appropriate court and prepares you for anything that requires your attendance. Where and when is planned with you.

The law

What Arizona Law Says About Choosing a Lawyer

Arizona licenses lawyers for the whole state, so the choice of lawyer is yours. Four points of Arizona law that do matter:

One license, every Arizona court

An attorney licensed by the State Bar of Arizona may represent clients in any Arizona state court. The choice of lawyer is yours; weigh relevant experience and communication.

Check the forum and attorney admission

Henry Beam holds Arizona State Bar #026708. State, federal, and tribal courts have their own rules and admission requirements. The firm must confirm that it can handle the particular matter.

Venue follows the case, not the lawyer

Jurisdiction and venue determine the appropriate court and location. Superior Court is not the only forum for civil injury claims; justice courts also hear civil matters within their jurisdiction.

Deadlines are the same statewide

Many Arizona injury actions have a two-year limitation after accrual. Public-entity or public-employee claims generally require notice within 180 days and suit within one year. Accrual, exceptions, and the applicable rules require case-specific review.

Before your free consultation

Not sure you have a case? Start here.

You do not need to know what your claim is worth or have every document ready. Henry considers smaller injury matters as well as serious injuries. Tell him what happened so he can discuss whether the firm can help.

  • What happened

    The date, location, people involved, and report number if you have one.

  • How you were hurt

    A brief description of your injuries, treatment so far, and impact on work or daily life.

  • Who has contacted you

    Any insurer, adjuster, or other attorney involved, and any offer or paperwork you received.

  • How to reach you

    Your preferred phone number and a convenient time to talk.

These are topics for the consultation, not a request to upload records. Keep initial texts and website messages brief. Wait for instructions before sharing medical records, identification, or other sensitive documents.

No obligation to hire. Sending a message does not create an attorney-client relationship or mean the firm has accepted your case.

Rural cases

What Is Different About a Rural Arizona Injury Case

The law is the same in every county, but rural crashes tend to raise a few questions that metro cases do not:

  • Who responded.

    On state highways the Arizona Department of Public Safety usually investigates; on county roads it is the sheriff; on tribal land it may be tribal police. Each agency keeps its own report, and knowing which one to request saves weeks.

  • Commercial trucks.

    I-40, I-10, I-8, US-93, and US-60 carry heavy freight traffic. A truck crash brings federal safety regulations, a corporate defendant, and electronic logging and event-data records that must be preserved early.

  • Government defendants.

    A crash caused by road design, signage, or maintenance on a state highway or county road may involve ADOT or the county — and with it the 180-day notice of claim in ARS § 12-821.01.

  • Medical records across counties.

    Seriously injured rural patients are often transported to trauma centers in Phoenix, Tucson, or Flagstaff, so treatment records sit with providers in several counties. Henry gathers them.

  • Uninsured and underinsured drivers.

    When the at-fault driver has little or no coverage, the injured person's own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Arizona insurers must offer UM/UIM coverage under ARS § 20-259.01, so reviewing the client's own policy is an early step.

  • Tribal land.

    A crash on tribal land can raise separate jurisdictional questions that need review at the start of the case.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Yes. Henry represents injured people in every Arizona county, including Gila County. An Arizona-licensed lawyer can handle a state-court injury case anywhere in the state, so the choice comes down to the lawyer: Henry is a former prosecutor who handles each case himself, and the consultation is free. Whether the firm can accept a particular case depends on its facts, conflicts, and the court involved.

Yes. Henry began his career as a Deputy County Attorney in Mohave County, so Kingman is familiar ground, and he represents Mohave County clients today. He is licensed to practice in every Arizona state court. The firm is based in Tempe; Henry meets Kingman clients in person when the case calls for it.

Wherever the case calls for it. Henry's firm is based in Tempe, with office meetings by appointment, and he meets clients around Arizona when a case warrants it. Some case events, such as a deposition or hearing, may require in-person attendance; where and when is planned with you.

Start with a free consultation. If Henry takes the case, the contingency fee agreement is sent to you to review and sign electronically. The written agreement explains the legal fee, case expenses, and each party’s responsibilities. Ask questions about those terms before signing.

Rural highway crashes are handled like any Arizona injury claim, with a few added questions: which agency responded (DPS, county sheriff, or tribal police), whether a commercial truck was involved, and whether a government entity such as ADOT controls the road. That last point matters because claims against public entities carry a 180-day notice deadline under ARS § 12-821.01.

The appropriate court and county depend on jurisdiction, the parties, the claim, and venue rules. Not every injury lawsuit belongs in Superior Court; some civil claims fall within justice-court jurisdiction. The firm reviews these questions for each case rather than choosing a court based on its Tempe office.

Yes, when the case warrants it. Henry has traveled Arizona top to bottom and east to west for clients, and he meets accepted clients in their own communities when a case calls for it. Any travel is planned with you in advance. Court rules may separately affect attendance requirements.

The county alone does not set the deadline. Many Arizona injury actions have a two-year limitation after accrual under ARS § 12-542. Claims against public entities or employees generally involve a 180-day notice requirement and a one-year lawsuit deadline under ARS §§ 12-821.01 and 12-821. Exceptions and other rules may apply; have the specific dates and defendants reviewed promptly.

Important deadlines

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:

  • 180-day notice of claim (ARS § 12-821.01) — a notice of claim generally must be served within 180 days after the cause of action accrues.
  • One-year statute of limitations (ARS § 12-821) — the lawsuit generally must be filed within one year after the cause of action accrues, not two.

Missing the 180-day notice typically bars the claim entirely, regardless of how strong the case is. Accrual, exceptions, and notice requirements need case-specific review. Do not assume the incident date alone determines your deadline.

You didn’t pick this fight. Don’t fight this alone.

No fee unless we win, and the consultation is free.
