Attorney Jason Harris has over 16 years of experience representing clients in motor vehicle collisions, large‑truck accidents and car accident claims, and workers’ compensation matters throughout Arizona. He has handled numerous personal injury matters and built a reputation for direct communication, personal attention, and strategic legal counsel.
Jason is licensed in Arizona and focuses on complex accident and injury matters, including hit‑and‑run collisions in Chandler and surrounding communities. He takes the time to understand how your accident occurred, the full scope of your injuries and medical expenses, and works to present your injury claim effectively to the insurance company or in court if needed.
Hit and run accidents in Chandler, and throughout Maricopa County, often result from careless or negligent actions such as:
Distracted driving (texting, using a mobile device, adjusting infotainment)
Drunk driving or impaired drivers who leave the scene to avoid criminal consequences
Speeding, rear end accidents at traffic signals or stop signs
Parking lot or street-side collisions where one driver flees rather than stopping and exchanging insurance information
Failure to obey traffic signals, sudden lane changes, or irresponsible maneuvers that lead to impact and then a flight from the scene
Because the other party often leaves or cannot be identified, accident victims may face additional hurdles: locating the other driver’s insurance information, interviewing witnesses, obtaining surveillance footage, and filing a police report. In such cases, having an experienced Chandler car accident lawyer is vital to preserving your rights and pursuing an injury claim.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Chandler saw over 4,200 total crashes in 2024, with more than 1,200 resulting in injuries and 14 fatal collisions across the city. While not all of these were classified as hit-and-run incidents, Maricopa County, which includes Chandler, consistently reports the highest concentration of motor vehicle collisions in Arizona.
Statewide, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that hit and run accidents make up a significant portion of crashes each year, leaving many injured victims struggling with medical expenses and insurance policy complications. These figures highlight the serious risks Arizona drivers face when negligent motorists flee the scene.
If you’ve been injured in a hit and run collision in Chandler, AZ, you have legal rights and options, even if the other driver remains unidentified or uninsured. Here’s what you need to know:
Report the accident to the police immediately and obtain a copy of the police report. The Chandler Police Department allows requests for an accident report online.
Make sure you receive prompt medical treatment, document your injuries, keep records of your medical expenses, lost wages, and any permanent disability or serious injury you suffered.
Gather evidence: witness testimonies, parking-lot cameras or traffic-signal footage, photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, skid marks, and other relevant collision details.
The fact that the other driver fled the scene doesn’t eliminate your ability to file a personal injury claim. You may have options via your own insurance (uninsured motorist coverage) or other legal remedies if a driver is later found.
Your legal team can negotiate with your insurance company, the other driver’s insurance (if identified), or pursue litigation on your behalf. You don’t have to face the complexities of dealing with a run accident alone.
Be mindful of statutes of limitation and ensure you act promptly. Delays can undermine your claim and weaken the position of your injury attorneys.
At Harris Injury Law, our Chandler car accident attorney and legal team provide comprehensive support in hit and run cases, including:
Free consultation to review the details of your hit and run accident, the severity of car accident injuries, the accident scene, and your medical treatment history.
Case investigation: We identify potential other-party liability, collect traffic-signal data, parking-lot surveillance, interview witnesses, photograph damage, and gather the police report.
Insurance company negotiation: Whether dealing with your own car insurance company’s uninsured motorist policy or the other driver’s insurance policy (should they be found), we handle the communications so you can focus on healing.
Medical bills and lost wages: We document the full scope of your economic losses, medical expenses, physical therapy, permanent disability, lost wages due to being unable to work, and present those to the insurance company or at trial when necessary.
Settlement evaluation: We help you determine whether a settlement offer is fair or whether you should prepare to pursue litigation. Many accident victims are pressured into low offers by insurance adjusters; we advocate for fair compensation for your case.
Trial readiness: If a settlement cannot fairly address the damages you’ve suffered, we are prepared to take your case to trial and present your claim before a court.
Personalized support: You’ll speak directly with attorneys who understand serious accidents, motor vehicle collisions, and the unique issues surrounding hit and run accidents in Chandler and Maricopa County.
We understand how a serious accident can disrupt your daily life, medical treatment, physical therapy, permanent disability, property damage, lost wages, and we work to ease the legal burden so you can focus on recovery.
Accidents don’t wait for convenient business hours, and neither do we. Whether your accident occurred on a busy thoroughfare, at a traffic signal, or in a cluttered parking lot, our legal team is ready to provide timely guidance, help initiate your injury claim, and assist you in meeting important deadlines. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you generally don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Some case‑related costs may still apply..
