Attorney Jason A. Harris brings over 16 years of experience representing injury victims across Arizona. One of the few personal injury attorneys in the state who regularly handles both personal injury and workers’ compensation cases, Jason provides a rare dual perspective that benefits victims with complex or overlapping claims.
He has successfully represented many clients in complex injury cases, helping clients resolve claims based on the specific facts and circumstances involved, including those involving severe bike accidents, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and wrongful death. Jason is known for his direct communication style, clients work with him personally from day one, and he remains accessible throughout the entire case.
Understanding the common causes of collisions is key to preventing them, and to proving fault after an injury. Frequent factors include:
Failure to yield the right of way by motorists at intersections
Car accident via distracted driving (e.g., texting or in-car entertainment)
Speeding or reckless maneuvers
Opening car doors into traffic (“dooring”)
Unsafe road conditions, such as potholes, debris, or poor lighting
Lack of designated bike lanes or clear signage
Driving under the influence or impairment
Low visibility at night due to poor lighting or lack of reflectors
The City of Chandler Protected Bike Lanes Feasibility Study (2023) identified over 53 miles across 107 locations suitable for protected bike lanes, a positive step toward improving cyclist safety throughout the community.
Putting local context around the risks faced by cyclists helps illustrate why experienced legal support is so important.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2023 Arizona Crash Facts Report, there were 4,340 total crashes in Chandler that year, including 18 bicycle-related crashes. These incidents led to multiple injuries and property damage, underscoring the vulnerability of bicyclists on Chandler’s growing network of roadways.
Statewide, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported 1,287 bicycle crashes in 2023, resulting in 42 fatalities and 1,231 injuries. These figures highlight the continuing danger faced by Arizona bicyclists when sharing roads with motor vehicles.
The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) has emphasized that bicyclists remain disproportionately represented in serious traffic injuries relative to their share of total roadway users. In response, local and state agencies are prioritizing safer infrastructure through projects like protected bike lanes, improved road conditions, and public education campaigns.
These statistics show that while Chandler continues to invest in bicycle safety, bicyclists still face a high risk of serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, road rash, and long-term pain and suffering, often resulting in significant medical expenses and reduced quality of life.
Under Arizona law, motorists must exercise reasonable care to avoid endangering bicyclists. When a motorist breaches this duty, for example, by speeding, failing to yield, or driving distracted, they may be held legally responsible for resulting injuries.
Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you are found 10% at fault, your damages are reduced by that same percentage.
Economic damages: medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity
Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death damages: funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other recoverable losses for surviving family members
Get medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
File a police report and gather witness information.
Preserve evidence such as photos of road conditions and your damaged bike.
Do not sign any insurance paperwork or give recorded statements before consulting an attorney.
