Based in the heart of Arizona, our Phoenix personal injury lawyers specialize in uninsured motorist claims and offer aggressive, experienced legal representation to ensure you recover full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

Attorney Jason A. Harris is not only one of the few attorneys in Arizona experienced in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law, but he’s also a passionate advocate for car accident victims in Phoenix. His rare dual-focus gives him the insight to tackle complex auto insurance disputes involving uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
Jason’s down-to-earth approach means you’ll always have direct access to your legal counsel. Clients appreciate his availability, responsiveness, and commitment to securing full compensation, even in cases where the at-fault driver lacks insurance or has insufficient underinsured motorist coverage.
Motor vehicle accidents in Arizona involving uninsured or underinsured drivers are unfortunately common, despite the legal requirement for all drivers to carry minimum liability car insurance. Many accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists stem from:
Driving without valid auto insurance
Carrying inadequate bodily injury liability coverage
Lapses in auto insurance policy payments
Accidents with out-of-state drivers or tourists
Hit-and-run accidents
Accidents caused by underinsured drivers who do not have enough coverage to fully cover damages
In such cases, it’s crucial to understand how claiming compensation works through your own insurance company under your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Establishing liability is a key step in claiming compensation, whether through insurance claims or lawsuits.
Arizona has one of the higher rates of uninsured drivers in the United States. According to the most recent report from the Insurance Research Council (IRC), approximately 11.8% of Arizona drivers were uninsured as of 2019, placing the state close to the national average (IRC 2021 Report).
Given Phoenix’s population of over 1.6 million residents and heavy daily traffic, this percentage translates to well over 180,000 drivers potentially operating without valid insurance on Phoenix roads. This significantly increases the risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident involving an uninsured or underinsured motorist.
As traffic volumes in Phoenix continue to rise, so too does the potential for serious injury or financial loss due to drivers who fail to carry adequate insurance coverage.
Arizona follows a fault system, meaning the at fault driver is responsible for paying damages. However, when the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, recovering damages can be more complex. Your best option may be to file a claim against your own policy under uninsured motorist coverage, which pays for your damages directly, not the uninsured or underinsured driver.
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage – for accidents where the liable party has no insurance.
Underinsured Motorist (UIM) Coverage – for situations where the underinsured driver’s policy limits are too low to cover your medical expenses, property damage, or pain and suffering.
Underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage is considered portable, meaning it can provide protection even when you’re in someone else’s vehicle.
While you have a right to claim compensation from your insurance provider, the process to recover compensation and recover damages is not always a straightforward process. Insurance companies may still try to reduce or deny your insurance claim. That’s why it’s vital to have an experienced uninsured motorist accident lawyer in Phoenix by your side.
