Many car accident cases in Chandler stem from distracted behaviors behind the wheel. Some of the common causes include:
Text messaging or smartphone use while driving
Talking on the phone, even hands-free
Adjusting navigation, audio, or climate controls
Eating, drinking, or reaching for items
Engaging with passengers, children, or pets
Looking at roadside signs or other external distractions
Distractions that are visual, manual, or cognitive can all slow reaction time, making it harder for drivers to respond to traffic signals, sudden stops, or changing road conditions, especially during Arizona’s monsoon season or heavy evening traffic.
To understand how serious the problem is in Chandler and across Arizona:
The Chandler Police Department launched a dedicated enforcement campaign to combat distracted driving, making more than 1,200 traffic stops and issuing about 600 citations for mobile device use during a three-month period, according to ABC15 Arizona (KNXV).
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reports that roughly one in four car crashes in Arizona involve driver distraction, emphasizing that even a few seconds of inattention can lead to devastating injuries or fatalities. You can find this data on the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office website.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) found in its 2023 Arizona Crash Facts Summary that the state experienced more than 119,000 total crashes, including 1,198 fatal collisions. A significant portion of these involved human factors such as driver distraction, speeding, or driving under the influence.
Nationally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that distracted driving caused over 3,000 deaths in 2022, and texting or smartphone use can increase crash risk sixfold. These figures are available in the NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts report.
Together, these findings demonstrate that distracted driving continues to threaten Chandler’s busy intersections, including Chandler Boulevard, Arizona Avenue, and the Loop 202, where just a few seconds of inattention can cause catastrophic harm.
If you’ve been hurt in a motor vehicle crash caused by a distracted driver, you have important legal rights under Arizona law:
You may file a personal injury claim or accident claim for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
If a loved one was killed, your family can bring a wrongful death claim.
Arizona follows comparative negligence, meaning compensation can be reduced if multiple parties share fault.
The statute of limitations for most personal injury actions in Arizona is two years from the date of the accident.
Never accept a settlement offer without first seeking legal advice, insurance companies often use statements or police reports to minimize payouts.
Prompt medical attention and proper documentation strengthen your case and ensure your rights are preserved.

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
