Our legal team has handled numerous personal injury cases, including pedestrian crashes, auto accidents, fall accident claims, and workplace injuries. We understand how driver’s negligence, road design issues, and unsafe conditions can lead to preventable harm.

Navigating insurance companies, police reports, traffic cameras, and liability questions can be difficult. Our firm helps clients understand how Arizona law applies to their claim through the Arizona State Legislature and local guidance from the City of Peoria Government.
While no attorney can guarantee a specific result, we are committed to providing diligent representation and helping clients understand how damages are evaluated under the law.
Over nearly two decades, our firm has represented clients in a wide range of personal injury claims across Maricopa County Government, including accidents involving pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and workers injured on the job.
Attorney Jason A. Harris is one of the few attorneys in Arizona who regularly handles both personal injury and workers’ compensation matters. This dual background allows him to address complex cases that may involve overlapping legal issues, such as injuries occurring during work-related travel or third-party liability involving motor vehicle drivers.
Jason has represented many clients in personal injury matters throughout Arizona, including pedestrian crashes, car accidents, trucking collisions, dog bites, fall accidents, and workplace incidents. He brings an approach focused on understanding each client’s medical, emotional, and financial challenges following serious injuries.
His early experiences, balancing work at The Lafayette County Chancery Clerk’s Office with long hours on a cattle ranch, shaped his commitment to problem solving and perseverance. After attending Western Michigan’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Jason gained courtroom exposure during his time at the Washtenaw County Public Defender’s Office, where he was admitted to practice law early due to his demonstrated capabilities.
Outside of work, Jason enjoys time with his wife, Marisa, and their two children. He approaches each pedestrian accident claim with the same level of attention and determination he brings to his own family’s well-being.
Pedestrian crashes occur throughout Peoria and are often linked to preventable factors. Common causes include:
Distracted driving, such as texting behind the wheel
Reckless driving, including speeding or ignoring crosswalks
Vehicles entering oncoming traffic or turning without checking for pedestrians
Poor road maintenance reported by the City of Peoria Government
Unsafe conditions on private or public property
Failure of property owners to address obstructions or hazards
A negligent driver who fails to yield
Violations of traffic laws from the Arizona State Legislature
Impairment due to alcohol or drugs
Uncontrolled intersections or poor lighting near dangerous intersections
These behaviors and hazards can result in serious injuries, property damage, and long-term medical needs.
Understanding local collision trends helps illustrate the need for legal support.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reports in its annual statewide crash report that pedestrian crashes remain a significant cause of catastrophic injuries across Arizona. ADOT notes an ongoing pattern of pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries each year, particularly in fast-growing areas of Maricopa County.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also highlights nationwide increases in pedestrian fatalities, with speed, roadway design, and distracted driving being major contributing factors.
For medical outcomes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that traumatic brain injuries are among the most common consequences of pedestrian crashes, often resulting in months or years of recovery.
These pedestrian accident statistics underscore why Peoria residents may benefit from legal guidance after a collision involving someone else’s negligence.
After an accident in Peoria, you may have legal options to seek compensation if a negligent party caused your injuries. Arizona law allows injured individuals to file a personal injury lawsuit when an at fault driver, unsafe property condition, or other negligent factor contributes to harm.
Potential legal options may include:
Seeking compensation for medical expenses
Recovering lost wages
Pursuing damages for emotional distress
Support for ongoing physical therapy
Compensation for resulting property damage
Recovering damages for traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or other common injuries documented by the CDC
Filing a wrongful death claim if a family member is fatally injured
Because insurance companies may dispute liability, question injuries, or attempt early settlements, speaking with a Peoria pedestrian accident lawyer may help you better understand the claims process.
Handling a pedestrian accident case involves multiple steps. Our firm works to guide clients through each part of the legal process:
We help gather evidence such as photos, skid marks, witness statements, police reports, and traffic camera footage from the City of Peoria Government when available.
Liability may fall on a negligent driver, a business, a property owner, or another negligent party.
We assist clients in understanding their insurance policy, responding to insurers, and preparing a demand letter when appropriate.
We evaluate financial losses, including medical bills, lost income, ongoing medical treatment, and future care costs.
Although many cases resolve through settlement, we are prepared to move forward with litigation when appropriate based on the facts and applicable Arizona law.
We understand how injuries can impact mobility, work, and daily life. Our team takes a compassionate, client-focused approach throughout the legal process.

Harris Injury Law
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
