Understanding how and why collisions occur helps highlight why legal assistance is often needed. In Tempe, frequent causes of car accidents include:
Distracted driving – Cell-phones, infotainment systems, eating while driving.
Speeding or reckless driving – Especially in congested areas or near university zones.
Intoxicated drivers – Alcohol or drug impairment leading to high-impact crashes.
Failure to yield or red-light running – At busy intersections such as near Arizona State University.
Merging and lane-change collisions – Via highways and commuter roads.
Motorcycle accidents – When motorists fail to see or yield to motorcyclists.
Work-vehicle and truck accidents – Especially when large vehicles collide with smaller cars.
Pedestrian or bicycle impacts – Common in Tempe’s urban corridors.
When a negligent driver causes a car crash, injury victims face medical bills, lost income, and emotional strain. Our firm handles injury claims involving serious injuries, permanent disability, medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and more.
Car accidents remain a serious public safety issue in Tempe and throughout Arizona. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 2024 Motor Vehicle Crash Facts Report, Arizona recorded 121,107 total motor vehicle crashes, including more than 37,000 injury collisions and 1,228 fatalities statewide. These numbers reflect a modest decline from the prior year, but they continue to represent tens of thousands of serious injuries across Arizona’s roads.
Within the Phoenix metropolitan region, which includes Tempe, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) tracks long-term crash trends involving vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-pedestrian, and vehicle-bicycle collisions. Their data show that urban corridors in Maricopa County consistently report some of the highest traffic-collision frequencies in the state, particularly during peak commuting hours.
Locally, the City of Tempe Open Data Portal publishes a “Crash Data Report (Detail)” that identifies high-severity traffic incidents throughout the city. This dataset confirms that Tempe experiences recurring clusters of collisions along major routes such as Rural Road, Baseline Road, and University Drive, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
Meanwhile, reporting from azcentral highlighted that Tempe saw roughly 3,000 collisions in a single year, with nearly half causing injury. The article also noted that intersections near Arizona State University remain among the busiest and most accident-prone in the city.
Together, data from ADOT, MAG, and the City of Tempe illustrate how densely traveled corridors, distracted driving, and population growth continue to contribute to frequent and sometimes deadly collisions. These statistics emphasize the importance of working with an experienced Tempe car accident lawyer who understands local traffic patterns, police reporting standards, and the complexities of Arizona’s fault-based insurance laws.
If you’ve experienced a Tempe car accident, you have rights under Arizona law, and you may be entitled to financial compensation for losses you’ve incurred. Key considerations include:
Fault and negligence: Arizona is a fault-based insurance state. The at-fault driver’s insurance must respond to the accident, and you may have a personal injury claim when another driver’s negligence caused your car accident.
Insurance company and adjuster: The insurance provider for the at-fault party will evaluate your car accident claim. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer helps ensure your case is assessed fairly.
Types of damages: Compensation may include medical expenses, vehicle repairs, lost wages, permanent disability, and non-economic damages.
Evidence and documentation: Strong claims rely on medical records, witness statements, accident reconstruction specialists, and vehicle repair documentation.
Time limits: Arizona law sets deadlines for filing personal injury cases, timely action improves your ability to achieve a positive outcome.
Interaction with the other driver: Avoid speaking with the other driver’s insurance adjuster without legal advice.
Your legal team’s role: A Tempe personal injury attorney helps you gather evidence, negotiate with insurance providers, and, if needed, take your injury claim to Arizona courts.

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
