Attorney Jason A. Harris brings rare dual expertise in personal injury and workers’ compensation law, allowing him to handle even the most complex car accident cases. Since 2006, Jason has helped clients recover from life-changing auto accidents, truck accidents, and workplace vehicle collisions.
When you choose Harris Injury Law, you’ll have direct access to your attorney, Jason, from the outset of your case. He knows that in rear-end collisions, the insurance company may deny liability or downplay your car accident injuries, making it vital to have an attorney who can prove liability, gather evidence, and pursue compensation for medical care, vehicle damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Rear-end collisions are among the most frequent car accidents in Tempe, AZ, and can cause devastating injuries. Common causes include:
Drivers following too closely on congested roads like Loop 101, US-60, or I-10.
Distracted driving, texting, adjusting music, or eating, that delays reaction times.
Speeding or aggressive driving in heavy Maricopa County traffic.
Poor lighting or roadway defects, such as faded markings or sudden potholes.
Drunk drivers or fatigued drivers who fail to stop in time.
Truck accidents where large commercial vehicles collide with smaller cars, leading to catastrophic injuries sustained by the occupants ahead.
Even though fault in a rear-end crash might appear straightforward, you still must prove liability, gather documentation, and counter arguments from the insurance adjuster or other driver who may attempt to deny fault or minimize your injuries.
While specific rear-end collision data for Tempe, AZ is not published separately, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) provides statewide and county-level crash data that highlights how common rear-end crashes are across Arizona and Maricopa County.
According to the 2023 Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts Report, Arizona recorded 122,247 total crashes, with 37,075 involving injuries. Within multi-vehicle collisions, rear-end crashes accounted for 28.6 percent of all multi-unit crashes statewide, making them one of the most frequent accident types reported by ADOT.
The same ADOT data shows that Maricopa County accounted for over 72 percent of all crashes statewide and nearly half of all fatal collisions, reflecting the high concentration of crashes across the Phoenix metro area, including Tempe.
At the city level, the City of Tempe Performance Dashboard tracks “High Severity Traffic Crashes,” including collisions between vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. This public data emphasizes the city’s ongoing focus on reducing serious traffic injuries and fatalities through safety initiatives and improved road design.
These figures confirm that rear-end collisions remain one of the most prevalent accident types in Arizona, and for car accident victims who suffer spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or internal injuries, the impact can be long-lasting and financially overwhelming.
If you were injured in a car accident in Tempe, you have the right to seek compensation under Arizona law for losses caused by someone else’s negligence. A qualified personal injury attorney can help you:

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
