Not all law firms are the same. Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and road rash. Victims may also suffer emotional distress, lost wages, and property damage. Emotional and psychological trauma, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or phobias related to riding, can also significantly affect victims’ lives. At Harris Injury Law, we fight to help motorcycle accident victims seek fair compensation for their losses.

Attorney Jason A. Harris is one of the few attorneys in Arizona with dual expertise in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law. Since 2006, Jason has handled numerous car accident and motorcycle accident cases, helping clients navigate medical expenses, insurance claims, and lawsuits.
Jason understands that motorcycle accidents in Scottsdale often result in complex injuries like spinal cord damage, brain injuries, and internal injuries. Spinal cord injuries can range from mild to severe and may lead to partial or complete paralysis, significantly impacting a victim’s quality of life. His goal is to simplify the legal process while pursuing appropriate compensation, such as coverage for medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Motorcycle accidents often result from negligence on the part of other drivers. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents in Scottsdale include:
Distracted driving – Drivers texting or looking away from the road.
Failure to yield – Especially at intersections on busy Scottsdale roads like Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard.
Speeding – Excessive speeds reduce reaction time and worsen injuries.
Driving under the influence – Alcohol and drugs remain leading contributors.
Unsafe lane changes – Cars not checking blind spots for motorcyclists.
Hazardous road conditions – Construction zones and poor lighting increase risks.
Each accident case is unique. Harris Injury Law investigates the fault party, gathers evidence, and works to hold negligent drivers accountable.
To understand the local risks and underscore the urgent need for legal representation following a motorcycle accident in Scottsdale, consider the following data from the Arizona Department of Transportation:
The 2023 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts report, published by ADOT in July 2024, includes comprehensive statistics on all motor vehicle crashes across the state, including motorcycle-specific data (highways.dot.gov)
According to that report, the number of motorcyclist fatalities in 2023 rose to 258, marking the highest figure in at least 20 years and an 11.2% increase from 232 in 2022
Statewide, total traffic fatalities numbered 1,307 in 2023, representing a slight 0.98% decrease from 1,320 in 2022. Still, this figure remains alarmingly high, reflecting broader safety concerns across all road users.
What These Figures Mean for Scottsdale
Motorcyclists remain among the most vulnerable road users, often suffering catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, road rash, and head injuries, even though they represent a small fraction of total accidents.
With motorcycle fatalities rising significantly, especially in 2023, the necessity of having experienced Scottsdale motorcycle accident lawyers becomes even more critical to pursue fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
Harris Injury Law is deeply familiar with these statewide safety trends and stands ready to guide Scottsdale riders through every step of the legal process, from insurance claims to settlements, and, if needed, litigation.
If you are injured in a Scottsdale motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation. Accident attorneys at Harris Injury Law can help you recover damages such as:
Medical expenses (hospital bills, surgery, rehab, prescriptions)
Lost wages (both past and future income)
Pain and suffering (physical and emotional distress)
Property damage (motorcycle repair or replacement)
Wrongful death damages (for families who lose loved ones)
Punitive damages (if the at-fault party’s conduct was egregious)
Insurance companies may try to deny your claim or offer a low settlement. Having an experienced Scottsdale motorcycle accident lawyer helps protect your rights and improves your chances of seeking fair compensation.

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
