Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist collisions present unique legal challenges.

Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist collisions often arise from:
Distracted driving (phones, GPS, dashboard systems)
Drunk driving / DUI
Speeding on roads like Scottsdale Road, Tatum Boulevard, or Lincoln Drive
Night-time collisions near resort areas
Hit-and-run accidents where the driver flees and cannot be identified
Drivers with lapsed or insufficient insurance coverage
Intersection collisions on McDonald Drive and Paradise Valley arterial roads
Even minor collisions can sometimes lead to significant injuries or medical costs.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Arizona consistently reports thousands of collisions every year in which drivers either lack insurance or do not carry enough coverage to fully compensate injury victims. ADOT’s annual crash data shows that uninsured and underinsured motorists continue to be a substantial concern throughout Maricopa County, including areas surrounding Paradise Valley.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlights ongoing national safety risks associated with uninsured drivers and underinsured drivers, noting that crash victims often rely on uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and long-term care needs. NHTSA’s research also emphasizes increased risk in regions with dense commuter traffic, such as the corridors connecting Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and Scottsdale.
These patterns underline the importance of having sufficient UM/UIM coverage in Arizona, as many accident victims must turn to their own insurance policies for protection when the at-fault driver cannot compensate them fully.
Under Arizona law, you may have several avenues for compensation depending on your policy:
UM coverage steps in when a driver without insurance injures you or damages your vehicle.
UIM coverage applies when the at-fault driver has insurance, but the policy limits do not cover your medical expenses or property damage.
Depending on the policy and circumstances, compensation may include areas such as:
medical expenses
lost wages
pain and suffering
long-term medical care
property damage
emotional distress
You may also have additional rights if a loved one suffered fatal injuries, potentially entitling surviving family members to pursue compensation in a wrongful death claim.
You must act within the statute of limitations to protect your claim.
Insurance companies may use policy language to minimize payouts.
You have the option to seek legal representation to help evaluate the claim and protect your rights.
Our personal injury attorney and legal team provide comprehensive legal services, including:
We gather:
the police report
medical records
accident scene photographs
insurance policy documents
witness statements
evidence of medical expenses and lost wages
We handle all interaction with insurers so you are not pressured into agreeing to less favorable terms or prematurely settling your personal injury claim.
We can prepare a claim package supported by available documentation, and a clear explanation of the injuries and financial losses you experienced.
UM and UIM policies can be complex. We evaluate coverage limits, exclusions, and opportunities to pursue compensation.
If negotiation does not lead to a resolution, we may explore further legal options, including litigation when appropriate.
Accidents don’t follow business hours. Whether your collision occurred early in the morning on Tatum Boulevard or late at night near Scottsdale Road, you can reach our team anytime. We aim to respond as soon as possible, even after traditional business hours.

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
