At Harris Injury Law, we know a car accident can change your life in seconds. As a law firm specializing in car accident, auto accident, and personal injury cases, if you’ve suffered injuries in a crash in Scottsdale, AZ, our goal is to guide you through the entire process, from the first call to the final resolution, so you can focus on healing while we fight for your rights.
With over 16 years of experience and the combined experience of our team in handling auto accident and personal injury cases, we have successfully resolved significant claims, with past results reflecting our dedication to client advocacy. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes. Known for our personalized service, we are committed to helping car accident victims in Scottsdale pursue the highest compensation available under the law for medical bills, lost wages, and related damages.
When you’ve been involved in a Scottsdale car accident, the legal, medical, and financial challenges can feel overwhelming. Thousands of car accidents occur in Scottsdale each year, with significant injuries reported. Insurance companies are often quick to offer settlements that don’t come close to covering your true losses.
We bring the legal expertise and strong advocacy you need to level the playing field. Our experienced car accident attorneys handle all types of car accident cases, from minor collisions to catastrophic injury claims, and are dedicated to representing clients, gathering evidence, meeting deadlines, and maximizing compensation. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay unless we win. The contingency fee basis means that clients only pay their attorney if they recover compensation.
The outcome of a car accident case can depend on many factors, such as the severity of injuries, available evidence, and insurance coverage.
I’m Jason A. Harris, and I’ve built my career helping accident victims in Arizona achieve justice. As a personal injury lawyer dedicated to helping accident victims, I’m one of the few attorneys in the state with deep experience in both personal injury law and workers’ compensation, allowing me to handle even the most complex cases involving third-party liability, truck accidents, and workplace crashes.
When you hire us, you will have direct access to me for case updates and discussions, not just a case manager. I am available to respond to your legal questions, provide timely updates on your case, and help you feel informed and supported throughout the process. I approach each case with the same level of care and commitment I would want for my own family.
Unfortunately, car accidents are all too common in the Phoenix area. Based on our experience, the leading causes include:

Defective vehicle parts or poor road conditions
Whether your case involves negligent parties, defective vehicles, or insurance company delays, our legal team has the resources and strategies to hold the other party accountable. Hiring a personal injury attorney can help ensure that you’re not taken advantage of by insurance companies.

City of Scottsdale
ADOT does not publish up-to-date city-level data publicly for 2024. However, as a proxy, we reference the most recent Traffic Impact Study (TIMA) prepared by the City’s Traffic Engineering Division. Though not readily available as a public report, these studies typically include crash volume data for Scottsdale intersections and can be requested via the City of Scottsdale’s Public Records Center.

These numbers show why legal representation is essential after a Scottsdale car accident, the risks are high, and the stakes for your recovery are even higher.
Arizona is a fault state, meaning the at-fault driver (or their insurer) must pay for damages. Arizona uses a pure comparative negligence system that allows victims to recover compensation even if partially at fault. If you’ve been injured, you can pursue a personal injury claim for:
Medical expenses and ongoing care
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
Wrongful death damages for a lost family member
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, filing a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary to recover damages.
We protect you from insurance company tactics designed to minimize your claim and ensure you get the best treatment and compensation you deserve. Personal injury attorneys handle negotiations with insurance companies on behalf of accident victims, ensuring your rights are upheld.
We handle the entire process so you can focus on your health:
Free consultation & case review: Call or text (480) 800-HURT for a no-cost evaluation.
Onboarding & medical coordination: We help arrange care and check benefits so treatment isn’t delayed.
Liability investigation: We gather police reports, witness statements, crash data, and expert analysis. It is vital to gather evidence and document the accident scene to support any claim for compensation, as these steps can significantly impact the success of your claim and the amount of compensation recovered.
Damages documentation: We track medical bills, lost income, and long-term care needs.
Demand & negotiations: We present a detailed settlement package to the insurer.
Filing suit (if necessary): If negotiations stall, we file and prepare for trial.
Mediation & trial prep: We push for settlement but are fully ready for court.
Resolution & payout: We finalize settlements, resolve liens, and get you your funds.
Ongoing support: We remain a resource for future legal questions and referrals.

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
