Rear end accidents are among the most common types of motor vehicle collisions in Arizona, and Scottsdale is no exception. Even at low speeds, a rear end accident can cause serious injuries, ranging from whiplash to spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. Many people underestimate the severity of rear-end accidents, often viewing them as minor incidents. At Harris Injury Law, we know that car accidents happen when you least expect them, and the aftermath can leave you dealing with medical bills, lost wages, pain, and uncertainty.

Rear end accidents in Scottsdale happen for many reasons. Some of the most common include:
Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or adjusting the GPS leads to delayed reaction times.
Reckless Driving – Speeding, tailgating, or failing to keep a safe distance often causes collisions.
Faulty Brakes or Vehicle Defects – Poor maintenance or auto defects can lead to devastating rear end collisions.
Drunk Drivers – Impaired driving reduces reflexes and awareness, often causing fatal injuries.
Heavy Traffic – Scottsdale’s busy streets, like Scottsdale Road and Loop 101, see frequent stop-and-go congestion where many car accident victims are rear ended.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), rear end collisions account for a significant percentage of vehicle crashes across the state. In 2023:
Rear end accidents made up nearly 30% of all vehicle collisions in Arizona.
Maricopa County, including Scottsdale, recorded over 17,000 rear end collisions, many resulting in serious injuries or wrongful death.
Many car accident victims in Scottsdale reported injuries ranging from whiplash to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.
These statistics highlight the importance of working with an experienced Scottsdale car accident lawyer who understands how rear end accidents affect victims and their families.
If you’ve been in a rear end collision, it’s important to know your legal rights:
Filing a Car Accident Claim – You may be entitled to file against the at fault party’s driver’s insurance company.
Recovering Medical Expenses – A personal injury lawsuit can help cover hospital bills, physical therapy, and long-term care.
Lost Wages – If injuries sustained prevent you from working, you can pursue compensation for income lost.
Pain and Suffering – Many accident victims deal with lasting or fatal injuries, making damages for emotional distress critical.
Wrongful Death – Families who lose loved ones in serious car accidents may pursue a car accident lawsuit for justice.
Future Damages – Compensation may include damages for future medical care and lost income due to the accident.

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
