At Harris Injury Law, we represent injured victims throughout Peoria, AZ, and the West Valley.

Attorney Jason A. Harris has practiced law since 2006 and is one of the few attorneys in Arizona who handles both personal injury cases and workers’ compensation claims. His dual background allows him to evaluate complex legal matters, understand long-term medical needs, and support injured clients through every stage of recovery.
Jason is known for:
Speaking directly with clients from the very first call
Providing clear expectations about the legal process
Using decades of experience representing accident victims
Staying involved throughout the case rather than handing it off to staff
Prioritizing each family member affected by the accident
He has handled a large number of car accident cases involving a wide range of injuries and legal issues, and understands how traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe injuries, and long-term disabilities impact a person’s life after a serious accident. When a DUI case involves wrongful death, Jason works closely with surviving families to explain and handle wrongful death claims under Arizona law.
Jason brings a personal, family-centered approach to private practice. Outside the office, he spends time with his wife and children and maintains the same work ethic he developed growing up on a cattle ranch and working throughout school. This same determination drives him to represent victims with care and attention.
A DUI accident in Peoria can stem from many negligent actions. Some of the most common causes include:
High blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit
Drugged driving involving prescription or illegal substances
Repeat offenses involving previously convicted impaired drivers
Reduced motor skills or impaired judgment behind the wheel
Late-night driving near bars, events, or busy intersections
Failure to stop at red lights or stop signs
Speeding, rapid lane changes, or reckless driving patterns
These behaviors can lead to severe injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or even wrongful death.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), impaired driving remains a major factor in Arizona collisions, causing hundreds of crashes each year. ADOT’s 2023 Crash Facts Report shows:
Alcohol-related crashes continue to account for a significant portion of statewide traffic injuries
Drug-related impairment has steadily increased over the past decade
DUI crashes are more likely to cause serious injury or fatal outcomes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also reports that drunk drivers are responsible for nearly one-third of traffic fatalities nationwide.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that impaired driving significantly increases the risk of severe or fatal crashes.
These statistics highlight why DUI accidents remain a major public-safety concern in Arizona, and why injured victims in Peoria may benefit from speaking with a Peoria personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
If you were hit by an impaired driver, you may have legal options to bring a personal injury lawsuit or claim for damages such as:
Medical bills
Lost income
Property damage
Physical pain
Economic damages related to long-term disability
Punitive damages, which may be available in limited DUI cases depending on the facts and applicable law
You may also take legal action against the at fault party if the accident caused a loved one’s death.
After any serious accident, we always encourage clients to seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Symptoms of traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are not always obvious.
If the driver is facing criminal charges for a DUI conviction, this does not automatically provide compensation to injured victims, but it may support the civil case. That is why contacting an accident lawyer early may assist with issues related to preserving evidence, witness statements, medical records, and photographs.
We assist clients with many aspects of a DUI accident case, including:
We examine police reports, blood alcohol concentration results, video footage, witness statements, and scene evidence to establish liability.
Insurance companies often attempt to assign blame to accident victims or offer less than fair value. We assist with communications related to insurance claims and the legal process.
Our firm helps clients coordinate medical attention, keep track of medical bills, and maintain organized medical records throughout recovery.
Once the scope of injuries, lost income, and long‑term needs is better understood, we engage in settlement discussions based on the available information.
If settlement negotiations do not resolve the matter, we may explore additional legal options, including litigation when appropriate.
We represent victims and surviving families when tragic losses occur after DUI accidents.
Our team aims to provide support, clarity, and guidance throughout the legal process.
Because DUI accidents can happen at any time, we aim to respond promptly to calls after hours, including evenings and weekends. We offer:
A free initial consultation to discuss general legal options
A no obligation consultation before signing any agreement
A confidential consultation to understand your needs
We work on a contingency fee basis. You won’t owe attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you, as detailed in your signed fee agreement.
