If you or a loved one has been injured in a rear end accident in Mesa, AZ, you may be dealing with injuries, medical bills, and uncertainty about your options. At Harris Injury Law, our legal team understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll that motor vehicle accidents can cause. We are dedicated to assisting Mesa car accident victims in pursuing compensation under Arizona law.
Led by Attorney Jason Harris, a Mesa personal injury lawyer with more than 16 years of experience, our firm provides compassionate and experienced representation for clients across the East Valley and throughout Maricopa County. We handle auto, truck, and rear end collision claims to assist injured victims in seeking compensation for their injuries under Arizona law.
We offer contingency fee representation, meaning attorney’s fees typically only apply if we obtain a recovery. Additional costs may still apply.
Not every law firm provides the same level of personal attention or local understanding. Mesa residents turn to Harris Injury Law because we bring both skill and commitment to every rear end accident case we handle.
We have experience with personal injury cases, including auto collisions, truck wrecks, and wrongful death matters. Our experienced car accident lawyers understand the complexities of Arizona traffic laws, insurance negotiations, and courtroom litigation.
When you hire Harris Injury Law, you’ll work directly with an experienced attorney, not a case manager or call center. Jason Harris personally oversees your case and ensures you receive updates every step of the way.
Our Mesa car accident attorneys know the city’s most accident-prone areas, such as Country Club Drive, Southern Avenue, and U.S. 60, where rear end collisions are unfortunately common. This local insight helps us build stronger cases using police reports, witness statements, and traffic data.
We focus on quality legal help and client communication. From your first call to final resolution, our team makes sure your legal rights are protected and that your injury claim is handled efficiently and thoroughly.

Rear end accidents often occur due to another driver’s negligence or inattention. Our Mesa rear end accident lawyers frequently handle cases involving:
Distracted driving, texting, eating, or using a GPS while behind the wheel
Following too closely or tailgating in heavy traffic
Drunk driving or impairment due to alcohol or drugs
Speeding or sudden braking on congested roads
Defective brakes or mechanical failures
Government entity road maintenance issues such as poor signage or malfunctioning signals
Whether caused by a drunk driver, a government entity, or another at fault party, these accidents can lead to devastating injuries requiring immediate medical care and long-term rehabilitation.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Arizona recorded 122,247 total crashes in 2023. Within multi-unit crashes, rear-end collisions accounted for 39,244 crashes, 38.11% of the total, making them the most common manner of collision in multi-vehicle wrecks statewide.
Maricopa County reported 87,237 total crashes in 2023, and the City of Mesa accounted for 7,534 crashes, underscoring the need for focused safety and legal resources in the East Valley. These figures come from ADOT’s “Crash Facts Report: 2023 Analysis by Jurisdiction.”
For national context, rear-end crashes have historically represented about 29% of all crashes across the United States, per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). While national distributions vary by year, the Arizona data above shows a similar pattern, rear-end impacts remain a leading crash type in multi-vehicle incidents.
After a rear end collision, Arizona law allows injured individuals to pursue a personal injury claim against the at fault driver or their driver’s insurance company. Even if you believe the crash was minor, it’s crucial to seek medical treatment immediately. Some soft tissue injuries and traumatic brain injuries may not appear right away but can worsen over time.
You may be entitled to recover compensation for:
Medical bills and medical expenses
Lost wages and future income loss
Property damage to your vehicle
Pain and suffering or emotional distress
Wrongful death damages if a loved one is killed
Arizona follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your recovery may be reduced if you share some fault. Having an experienced car accident lawyer ensures your rights are protected and that the other driver is held accountable.
At Harris Injury Law, we handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on healing. Here’s how our Mesa car accident attorneys help clients after a rear end accident:
We gather police reports, medical records, and witness statements to establish liability. Our team also works with accident reconstruction specialists to help establish the other driver’s negligence and helps ensure evidence is preserved.
Insurance adjusters often try to minimize payouts. We communicate with the insurance company, manage negotiations, and advocate for a settlement that addresses your medical care, lost wages, and damages. If the insurer refuses to act in good faith, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
Rear end accidents can cause anything from soft tissue injuries and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. We ensure your medical treatment and rehabilitation are properly documented to demonstrate the full scope of your losses.
Our personal injury attorneys work to help car accident victims recover compensation permitted by law. We seek compensation for all recoverable damages, including ongoing care, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life.
We have experience managing cases involving drunk driving, uninsured motorists, government entities, and multi-vehicle collisions. Whatever the situation, we provide the legal help you need to navigate the process confidently.
Accidents don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. The team at Harris Injury Law is available 24/7 to assist clients throughout Mesa, AZ, and surrounding East Valley communities such as Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, and Apache Junction.
We understand that car accident victims often need immediate answers about medical attention, property damage, and insurance coverage. When you call us, you’re connected with an attorney rather than a call center.
We also offer free consultations with no obligation, so you can get trusted advice before deciding how to move forward.

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
