Attorney Jason A. Harris is one of the few Arizona bus accident attorneys who regularly handles both personal injury and workers’ compensation claims. This dual expertise gives him a strategic advantage when seeking compensation for injured parties in Scottsdale bus accidents.
Jason’s philosophy is simple: treat every client like family. He personally answers calls, guides clients through the legal claim, and ensures they feel supported every step of the way. His dedication to achieving successful claims for clients is matched only by his compassion for those who have suffered injuries or lost a loved one due to negligence.
Accidents involving buses are often complex because multiple parties may be at fault. Common causes include:
Driver’s fault (distracted, fatigued, or impaired bus driver)
Mechanical failure due to poor maintenance by the bus company or public entity
Negligent hiring or inadequate training of drivers by private companies or school districts
Collision caused by reckless driving of other motorists
Poorly maintained roadways managed by government entities
Each of these factors can lead to severe injuries, brain injuries, internal injuries, or even wrongful death.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were 65,230 buses involved in traffic crashes across the U.S. in 2021, including 199 fatal crashes that caused 221 deaths and ~14,000 injury crashes (FMCSA Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts).
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that large buses (including school buses, public transit, and charter buses) continue to account for a significant share of motor vehicle crash injuries each year (NHTSA Traffic Safety Data).
Closer to home, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) documented 119,991 total motor vehicle crashes in 2022, leading to 1,178 fatalities and 52,411 injuries statewide. While ADOT does not break down bus-specific crashes for Scottsdale, the Phoenix metro area (including Scottsdale) consistently reports some of the highest accident rates in Arizona (ADOT Crash Facts Report).
These figures highlight why having an experienced Scottsdale bus accident lawyer is crucial. Victims of bus crashes often face challenges such as recovering from serious injuries, navigating claims against government entities, and pursuing fair settlements from insurance companies.
