In the Paradise Valley / greater Phoenix area, distracted driving is a major contributor to serious accidents, including:
A driver texting, scrolling or otherwise manipulating a cell phone instead of watching the road.
Rideshare vehicle drivers or passengers causing distractions and collisions.
Drivers looking at navigation devices, GPS screens, or entertainment systems instead of traffic signs, pedestrians or other vehicles.
Poor vehicle maintenance (brakes, lights) compounding the risk when combined with distraction.
Rear‐end collisions (especially at high‐speed intersections such as Lincoln Drive & Tatum Boulevard) where a moment’s inattention triggers property damage, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries or emotional trauma for the victim.
Insurance coverage issues when distracted drivers or rideshare companies claim someone else was liable, complicating the claims process.
When such driving accidents occur, an experienced accident lawyer is critical to identify the responsible party, gather fault‐establishing evidence, evaluate your losses (medical bills, lost wages, lost income, emotional distress) and negotiate or litigate accordingly.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2024 Motor Vehicle Crash Facts, Paradise Valley recorded 90 distracted-driving crashes in 2024, providing a town-level snapshot of how distraction contributes to collisions in the area.
Local data from IADLEST, based on Paradise Valley Police records, identified the intersection of Tatum Boulevard and Lincoln Drive as a significant crash hotspot, with 66 collisions over a three-year period, many of which were rear-end impacts linked to driver inattention.
Arizona prohibits handheld device use under A.R.S. § 28-914 (Arizona Legislature), which makes it unlawful for drivers to hold or support a portable electronic device while operating a vehicle.
Statewide enforcement and education efforts are detailed in the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (FFY 2023 Annual Report), hosted by NHTSA, which highlights performance measures and public-awareness campaigns addressing distracted driving across Arizona.
These statistics underscore how frequently distraction plays a role in crashes and reinforce the importance of experienced legal representation for victims seeking fair compensation in Paradise Valley.
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle crash in Paradise Valley due to another driver’s distraction, you have rights under Arizona law. Here’s what you should know:
To pursue a claim, you must show the responsible party (the at-fault driver) breached their duty of care by driving distracted, which caused your crash and resulting injuries. Evidence such as the accident scene, witness statements, police reports and phone records may be critical. Harris Injury Law works to gather that critical evidence and build your case.
Immediately after a crash, the insurance company for the at-fault driver may contact you. Their adjusters may try to minimize the value of your claims, attribute partial fault to you, or offer a quick, low settlement. Having experienced attorneys can help ensure your rights are protected and that you understand the implications of settlement offers that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage and emotional distress.
In a distracted driving accident case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills and treatment costs (including future care if you suffered severe injuries or traumatic brain injuries).
Lost income / lost wages due to your inability to work.
Property damage to your vehicle and other personal property.
Physical injuries like broken bones, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries or severe injuries requiring long-term rehabilitation.
Emotional distress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional trauma that often accompany serious accidents.
In tragic cases, a wrongful death claim on behalf of surviving family members.
Arizona law sets deadlines (statutes of limitations) for when you must file a claim or lawsuit. Acting promptly helps preserve evidence, witness recollection and legal rights. An experienced accident lawyer will guide you through the entire legal process, from gathering evidence, communicating with insurance adjusters, negotiating or filing a lawsuit, to trial if needed.
