With extensive experience in handling DUI accident cases under Arizona law, our Tucson personal injury attorneys are committed to protecting victims and their families throughout Pima County.

Not all law firms are the same. DUI accident cases often involve unique challenges such as driver’s license suspension, police officer reports, reasonable suspicion at the time of the stop, and disputes over whether the driver had consumed alcohol or was under the influence of drugs. DUI offenses can lead to multiple penalties including jail time, fines, and driver’s license suspension. Our Tucson DUI accident lawyers are familiar with the legal complexities involved and advocate vigorously on behalf of our clients.
At Harris Injury Law, we:
Conduct thorough investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Review police reports, toxicology tests, and witness statements.
Fight for compensation for property damage, medical expenses, and emotional trauma.
Help victims hold drivers accountable when their intoxication causes serious injuries or fatalities.
Our mission is to protect your legal rights and pursue accountability for the harm caused by others’ negligence. Compensation for DUI accident victims can include reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses such as transportation or assistance for daily tasks.
Jason A. Harris has experience representing clients in personal injury matters and assisting them in pursuing compensation, depending on the facts of each case. Past outcomes depended on the facts of each case. He has handled a variety of DUI-related injury cases, from minor to severe, including wrongful death claims.
Jason understands the local laws, the strategies used by prosecutors, and the long-term effects a DUI offense can have on drivers and victims alike. In Arizona, defendants have only 15 days to request a Motor Vehicle Division hearing to contest the suspension of their driver’s license after a DUI arrest. Whether the accident occurred in downtown Tucson near the University of Arizona or on I-10 heading through Pima County, Jason Harris and his team stand ready to provide the assistance you need.
Our attorneys have seen DUI accidents caused by a wide range of negligent behavior, including:
Consuming alcohol before driving
Driving under the influence of drugs
Speeding while intoxicated
Driving despite a suspended driver’s license
Operating a vehicle after a first offense or repeat DUI
Falling asleep or becoming distracted due to intoxication
When drivers ignore the law, their reckless actions put countless lives at risk. Unfortunately, these crashes often result in severe injuries or death.
The dangers of drunk driving are clear. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s 2022 Crash Facts Report:
Alcohol-related crashes caused 223 fatalities, making up 17.2% of all traffic deaths statewide.
These crashes also led to 3,538 injuries, representing 6.8% of all crash-related injuries.
(Arizona DOT – 2022 Crash Facts)
In 2024, preliminary figures showed that alcohol-related crashes accounted for about 28% of all fatal crashes in Arizona, with 347 fatalities. This marked a slight decrease from 358 in 2023.
(Arizona DPS – Highway Patrol Statistics)
The Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) also reported a targeted reduction goal for alcohol-impaired driving, aiming for 177 or fewer fatalities involving a BAC of 0.08 or higher by 2022.

In Pima County, DUI-related crashes remain a significant problem. Urban centers like Tucson, with active nightlife and high traffic density, see a disproportionate share of impaired drivers, increasing risks of serious injuries and fatalities.
Under Arizona law, victims of DUI accidents have the right to pursue compensation when someone else’s negligence causes injury. Even if the impaired driver faces jail time or penalties in criminal court, you may file a civil claim to recover damages such as:
Medical bills for minor injuries or long-term care for serious injuries
Lost wages and future earning capacity
Property damage from the auto accident
Pain and suffering for emotional trauma
Wrongful death claims if a loved one was killed
