Attorney Jason A. Harris is one of the few lawyers in Arizona who regularly handles both personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. With more than 16 years of experience, he has successfully represented clients in thousands of car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, and wrongful death claims throughout the state.
Jason’s dual expertise allows him to understand how liability insurance, underinsured motorist coverage (UIM), and uninsured motorist coverage (UM) interact. He helps victims secure recovery for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages when the at-fault driver lacks sufficient liability coverage.
Uninsured motorist collisions in Mesa often result from:
Hit-and-run crashes where the at-fault driver flees the scene
Drivers with expired or nonexistent insurance policies
Motorists carrying only the state’s minimum liability insurance, which may not cover all damages
Multi-vehicle motor vehicle accidents where some drivers lack adequate coverage
Crashes involving trucks, motorcycles, or commercial vehicles with limited insurance coverage
Drivers who cannot meet Arizona’s insurance requirements or have suspended licenses
Even if the responsible party has no driver’s insurance, your own insurance may provide compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage. Harris Injury Law ensures your insurer upholds its obligations under the policy.
While specific uninsured motorist data for Mesa is limited, state and national findings reveal how widespread the issue is in Arizona:
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), all drivers in Arizona must maintain minimum liability insurance of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. Despite these requirements, a significant portion of motorists fail to comply.
The Insurance Research Council (IRC) reports that roughly 14% of U.S. drivers were uninsured in recent years, a figure consistent with Arizona’s estimated range of 11% to 12%.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notes that uninsured and underinsured motorist incidents contribute to billions of dollars in uncompensated losses each year nationwide.
The U.S. Census Bureau confirms that Mesa’s population now exceeds 520,000 residents, increasing traffic density and the risk of motor vehicle accidents involving uninsured drivers.
These figures highlight why uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage are critical components of auto insurance for Mesa drivers. With more vehicles on the road and growing accident rates, having an experienced Mesa car accident lawyer is essential when pursuing fair compensation after a collision with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Report the Accident – Call Mesa police and ensure a police report is filed.
Seek Medical Treatment – Document every step of your medical treatment to preserve your right to claim damages for bodily injury.
Notify Your Insurance Company – Inform your insurer promptly; this activates your uninsured motorist claim or underinsured motorist claim.
Gather Evidence – We help you gather evidence, including photos, witness statements, and driver information.
Pursue Compensation – We negotiate with the insurance company to cover your medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages.
Monitor the Statute of Limitations – Arizona’s statute of limitations restricts how long you have to file a personal injury claim, so timely action is essential.
If your own insurance company delays or undervalues your claim, we hold them accountable under Arizona 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
