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.

Why Choose Harris Injury Law for Your Car Accident Case in Scottsdale?

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.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Scottsdale

Unfortunately, car accidents are all too common in the Phoenix area. Based on our experience, the leading causes include:

  • Distracted driving (especially texting)

  • Speeding and reckless driving

  • Driving under the influence (DUI)

  • Fatigue or drowsy driving

  • Failure to yield

  • Running red lights or stop signs

  • 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.

Scottsdale Car Accident Statistics

Based on data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), here’s an accurate breakdown of crash trends in Arizona, Maricopa County, and Scottsdale:

Arizona (Statewide, 2024)

  • 1,228 traffic fatalities and 121,107 total crashes, reflecting a decrease from the previous year.

  • Fatality rate: approximately 1.74 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

Maricopa County (includes Scottsdale)

    (Source: ADOT 2024 Crash Facts)

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.

Understanding Your Rights After a Car Accident in Scottsdale

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.
