Not all law firms are the same. Pedestrian accident victims deserve an experienced pedestrian accident lawyer who understands Arizona traffic laws and has the proven skill to stand up to insurance companies. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way within a crosswalk under Arizona Revised Statute, Section 28-792. At Harris Injury Law, we offer:
Extensive Experience – Jason Harris has represented personal injury victims across Arizona, including Scottsdale pedestrian accident case, and has experience handling complex claims.
Personalized Attention – Unlike larger firms, you’ll work directly with your attorney from your initial consultation to the resolution of your injury claim.
Aggressive Representation – Insurance carriers often lowball or deny valid claims. We fight to seek settlements that address medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress whenever possible.
Contingency Fee Basis – You pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. Attorneys often work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they collect fees only if you win your case.
Jason A. Harris is one of the few attorneys in Arizona who regularly handles both personal injury cases and workers’ compensation claims. This dual expertise gives him unique insight into the complex nature of pedestrian accident cases, particularly when serious injuries overlap with workplace incidents or car accidents. Drivers in Scottsdale often act carelessly or recklessly, leading to preventable pedestrian accidents.
Jason’s experience representing victims includes:
Car and truck accident cases involving injured pedestrians.
Third-party liability claims when an alleged negligent party is not the at-fault driver.
Severe injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.
Jason’s philosophy is simple: treat every personal injury case with the same dedication and care he would if his own family suffered injuries. That commitment reflects his dedication to serving pedestrian accident victims in Scottsdale and across Arizona.
Most pedestrian accidents in Scottsdale occur due to:
Driver Negligence – Speeding, distracted driving, or failing to yield at crosswalks.
Traffic Signals & Roadway Signs – Ignoring stop signs, red lights, or other traffic laws.
Oncoming Traffic at Intersections – Motor vehicle drivers failing to see pedestrians while turning.
Alcohol or Drug Impairment – Drunk drivers cause devastating consequences for pedestrians.
Poor Pedestrian Safety Infrastructure – Inadequate crosswalks or lack of visibility near popular areas.
Each pedestrian accident caused by negligent behavior can leave accident victims with severe injuries, extensive medical expenses, and a long recovery process.
Pedestrian safety remains a pressing issue in Arizona. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT):
In 2023, there were 1,944 pedestrian crashes statewide, resulting in 252 fatalities and 1,446 injuries (Arizona DOT 2023 Crash Facts).
Maricopa County, which includes Scottsdale, consistently reports the highest number of pedestrian accidents in the state.
Most pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas, especially near intersections with heavy traffic signals.
These numbers highlight the risks pedestrians face and why many injured individuals choose to consult with a pedestrian accident lawyer in Scottsdale to better understand their legal rights and explore options for seeking compensation.
If you are an injured pedestrian, you may be entitled to pursue compensation through a pedestrian accident claim. Your legal rights include:
Seeking Financial Compensation – which may include medical bills, lost wages, and future care needs.
Holding Responsible Parties Accountable – Whether it’s an at fault driver or another negligent party.
Protecting Against Insurance Companies – Preventing insurers from pressuring you to admit fault or accept a low settlement.
Meeting Legal Deadlines – Arizona law places strict time limits on when a personal injury case can be filed. Even if a pedestrian is partially to blame for the accident, they may still be eligible for some financial compensation under Arizona’s comparative negligence rules.

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
