Jason A. Harris has spent nearly two decades advocating for victims of negligence across Arizona. As a seasoned injury lawyer, he has handled thousands of personal injury claims and hundreds of complex spinal cord injury cases stemming from car accidents, medical malpractice, construction accidents, and defective products.
Jason is one of the few attorneys in Arizona who regularly practices both personal injury and workers’ compensation law, an invaluable advantage for clients navigating complicated insurance claims. His legal expertise covers cases involving:
Medical malpractice leading to nerve damage or paralysis
Knife wounds or gunshot wounds causing cord injury
Workplace incidents involving heavy equipment or property owner negligence
Jason’s philosophy is simple: treat every client as if they were a family member. That means relentless advocacy, compassionate guidance, and a results-driven approach focused on pursuing justice for our clients.
Spinal cord injuries in Scottsdale can stem from various factors. Some of the most common causes include:
Car accidents: Motor vehicle collisions remain the leading cause of spinal cord injuries nationwide.
Falls: Slip-and-fall incidents, often linked to property owner negligence, may result in severe spinal cord damage.
Violence: Traumatic events like knife wounds and gunshot wounds are unfortunately significant contributors.
Sports accidents: Contact sports and recreational activities sometimes lead to serious injury.
Medical malpractice: Surgical errors or delayed diagnoses can cause lasting nerve damage and paralysis.
When a spinal cord injury occurs because of someone else’s negligence, victims have the right to file a spinal cord injury claim to pursue fair compensation.
According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), there are approximately 17,900 new spinal cord injuries each year in the U.S., with motor vehicle accidents being the leading cause. Nearly 296,000 Americans are currently living with SCI.
The breakdown of traumatic spinal cord injury causes shows:
Vehicle accidents: ~37.5%
Falls: ~31.7%
Acts of violence (including gunshot wounds): ~15.4%
Sports and recreation: ~8%
Medical/surgical causes: ~3.7%
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) notes that these injuries often result in lasting paralysis, nerve damage, and the need for lifelong medical care.
Lifetime costs of managing a spinal cord injury can vary greatly. A systematic review published on PubMed Central (PMC) found estimates ranging from $700,000 to over $2.5 million per individual, depending on severity, age, and other factors.
In Arizona, the Barrow Neurological Institute reports an incidence rate of 5.9 spinal cord injuries per 100,000 residents, underscoring the significant impact on communities like Scottsdale.
Under Arizona law, victims of spinal cord injuries generally have a two-year window from the date of injury to file a claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from pursuing compensation, even when negligence is clear. It is essential to act promptly to ensure your rights are protected.
Compensation in a spinal cord injury case may cover:
Medical bills and ongoing medical care
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Physical pain and emotional distress
Chronic pain and permanent paralysis
Mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life
Costs related to long-term care, rehabilitation, and home modifications
Because the costs and damages can vary greatly depending on various factors, it is crucial to work with a spinal cord injury lawyer who can evaluate your personal injury case and identify all other parties responsible for your injury.
Our Scottsdale spinal cord injury attorneys work tirelessly to provide comprehensive legal representation:
Investigating accidents to establish negligence and determine fault
Negotiating with insurance companies to prevent lowball settlement offers
Filing injury claims and lawsuits when necessary
Seeking compensation for both economic and non-economic damages
Coordinating with medical experts to document nerve damage, paralysis, and future medical expenses
