A hit and run accident can leave any injured person facing confusion, medical bills, lost wages, and long-term emotional distress. When another driver causes a car crash and flees the scene, victims are often left without critical information needed to pursue compensation. At Harris Injury Law, our legal team represents Peoria residents who have been injured in hit and run incidents across the West Valley.
If you were involved in a hit and run accident anywhere in Peoria, whether near Bell Road, Lake Pleasant Parkway, Loop 101, or neighborhoods like Fletcher Heights, Vistancia, Camino á Lago, The Meadows, Cibola Vista, or Old Town Peoria, our experienced Peoria personal injury attorneys can help explain the legal process. We help clients understand their legal rights under Arizona law and discuss options for seeking compensation for medical expenses, property damage, and other financial losses resulting from someone else’s negligence.
Direct Attorney Communication
Many Peoria residents reach out to our law firm after struggling to get answers from insurance companies or insurance adjusters. At Harris Injury Law, we aim to provide direct attorney access from the start to help clients stay informed during the legal process.

Hit and run accidents often involve proving negligence without immediate access to the at-fault party’s information. Our attorneys conduct investigations, gather evidence, review medical records, and discuss options for seeking compensation permitted under Arizona law.
Contingency Fee Basis
We offer representation on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not owe attorney fees unless compensation is recovered, as outlined in the written fee agreement which explains all applicable terms and expenses.
No Obligation Consultation
Initial consultations are free, and clients may discuss general information about their situation with a local attorney who understands Peoria’s roadways, high-traffic corridors, and community-specific risks.

Hit and run accidents can occur in any part of Peoria, often under circumstances involving sudden or unexpected hazards. The most common contributing factors include:
Distracted or impaired driving
Drivers without insurance or with suspended licenses
Fear of being held responsible for damages
Speeding in residential neighborhoods
Collisions involving oncoming traffic
Nighttime accidents with limited visibility
Impacts near busy intersections such as 83rd Avenue or Thunderbird Road
Crashes involving motorcycles, cyclists, or pedestrians
Commercial vehicle impacts causing serious injuries
Hit and run incidents frequently occur in areas with heavy traffic or complex roadway patterns. Residents often report collisions near local destinations such as Rio Vista Park, Pioneer Community Park, and the New River Trail corridor.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), hit and run crashes remain a significant concern throughout Maricopa County. Statewide data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) indicates:
Arizona records thousands of hit and run crashes each year.
A substantial number involve injuries requiring medical treatment.
Many occur in urban areas with high population density, such as Peoria.
Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that hit and run incidents contribute to a considerable portion of pedestrian fatalities nationwide.
The Peoria Police Department and local emergency services regularly respond to collisions involving fleeing drivers, emphasizing the importance of prompt action and legal guidance after an accident.
Hit and run victims often feel uncertain about how to proceed when the at-fault party cannot immediately be identified. Under Arizona law, injured victims may still pursue compensation through:
Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage
Medical payments (MedPay) coverage
Property damage coverage
Personal injury claims involving third-party liability
Claims for lost wages, medical expenses, and financial losses
Even when the negligent party initially cannot be located, a personal injury lawyer can help explain legal options and discuss whether additional avenues for recovery may exist.
Victims may have the right to pursue compensation for:
Medical bills
Lost wages
Emotional distress
Property damage
Funeral expenses (in wrongful death cases)
Long-term financial losses caused by serious injuries

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
