Road Rash From Motorcycle Accidents

People may joke about nipple surfing, but road rash from a bike crash is no laughing matter. Serious road rash is like a burn. It takes time to heal, and some people never heal completely. Keloidal (raised, unsightly) scarring is an unfortunate result of some road rash injuries.

As a New York biker lawyer, I've seen the results of major road rash and have been able to represent individuals who did not break a bone, but had serious pavement injuries.

A bit of advice: Wear gloves! Long pants, boots, a jacket and gloves will give you some protection if you pull a Superman. The more coverage the better.

Road Rash Personal Injury Considerations

Seek immediate medical treatment if you lost some skin in a motorcycle/car accident. Failure to seek medical care can not only damage your healing, but also your legal case. As an experienced attorney biker, I have seen the results of a big end skid. Here are some thoughts for you to consider:

• Like a burn, road rash is an open wound that can get infected. Seek medical attention.
• Like a burn, road rash can be painful and take time to heal. Medications can help with the healing process. I'll work on the financial recovery.
• Like a burn, road rash can be very serious. De-gloving can occur, which could result in an amputation. Contact me for help.
• Unlike a burn, road rash can get worse over time. Scarring can start out minimal and develop into disfiguring keloidal scars.
• Ask your doctor about "silvadene cream." It has had miraculous results for burns and road rash; I know firsthand!

Keloids have been called the scars that don't know when to stop. Technically, a keloidal scar is a fibrotic, benign tumor formed by scar tissue that grows over and exceeds the boundaries of the original scar. Some people get them and other people don't. They are resistant to medical treatment.
