Road Rash Injury Attorney

Are you suffering from a major road rash injury due to an auto accident? Call The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani today!

Road rash is an abrasive injury in which skin has been scraped off due to contact with a road surface. It is extremely common in motorcycle accidents, but bicyclists and scooter riders may also experience this type of injury. Motorcycle road rash is typically very painful. Scraping against pavement at high speed can scrape off entire layers of skin, leaving raw tissue exposed. In extreme cases, an injury can bleed and cause nerve damage, leaving little or no feeling in the injured area.

Motorcyclists are at such a high risk because they are much less protected than automobile occupants. The Insurance Information Institute has found they’re five times more likely to be injured. While helmets and protective clothing can avoid injuries, many motorcyclists don’t take the proper precautions.

Road Rash Injuries

Road rash injuries range from burn-like scrapes to complete exposure of underlying structures. If you experience road rash, other injuries may be associated with it, including:

  • Compression Injuries: Crushed bones, severed limbs, and skin penetrations by objects, may be caused by the force of an impact or your body being trapped between the motorcycle and the road or object such as a car, tree, or building. The injury can vary in severity depending on the pressure and weight of an object.
  • Avulsion Injuries: Some areas of skin may have less severe road rash, but in the most affected areas, the skin may be completely stripped off, exposing muscle, fat, and bone tissue. An avulsion injury, or full-thickness wound, is at a high risk of becoming infected and may require skin grafts to treat; it can also lead to significant scarring.
  • Surface Injuries: Scrapes and cuts, otherwise known as lacerations, are open wounds. Caused by intense scraping across the road surface, they may require stitches to close up. Many lacerations are minor injuries but if a wound doesn’t close properly and dirt and debris get trapped inside, an infection may make matters worse.

How to Protect Yourself from Road Rash Injuries

Motorcycle accident road rash can be prevented, or its severity can be reduced. As many as half of riders don’t use their helmet, which puts them at great risk of major injuries from a crash. In addition to a helmet, wearing garments made of leather or other material that can absorb abrasive forces can help. Boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts or jackets prevent road rash as well. Motorcyclists can also purchase special protective padding to protect them while riding.

In the past year, I

In the past year, I was involved in two personal injury accidents. Auto and Pedestrian. At first I went to different law firm and signed up. After couple weeks in, that law firm rushed me through the process , did nothing and took $7600 of my settlement money and want me to settled under six months. I didn’t follow through and found out Jacob Emrani law firm with more experiences. This firm helped me to settled with larger settlements. Jacob Emrani and his team support me every steps of the way. For those involved in personal injuries, please understand that you must have patience for best results and Jacob and his team is your go to firm. Small law firm can’t do what this team does. Average people without any knowledges of auto accident, insurance carriers, and/or medical experiences are too hastily assumed that everything happens with a snap of a finger or I want it now. Well, it doesn’t. Rome wasn’t built in a day and so as this process. Court case takes even longer. People with negative reviews is because they don’t understand the system and all they do is blames and complaint or fired the firm that working hard for them behind close doors. When you quit and go to another firm, all you do is waste more time, waste more of your settlement reward to another firm in fees and costs. ALl you have to do is be patience and Jacob team will takes care of you. These case managers handles couple of dozen of case everyday and all the time. These attorney work their butts off on the phone and in court fight for you to get each client the best settlement. One case are not with the same result to next case. So when people calls into the office all day long for status, demands for answer, or angry because not moving with the speed the person want does not mean case managers or attorneys ignoring you. Email them, fastest response time. They only moves as fast as insurance carriers, medicals providers, and hospitals. These insurance companies are not just going to cough up money to you just because you got hit. They need time to investigate, this process takes time, case managers only goes as fast as these people move, they fights against these adjusters for you to get the best settlement for your case. So, please be PATIENCE!!! and give them time to work on your case. DON”T QUIT. Don’t go to another firm just because you have no patience and all you do is throw your settlement money away to another attorney and your case literally start from scratch, more time waste. Jacob Emrani, his attorneys, case managers, and the all the staffs are a great team and with tremendous experiences. Put your trust in them and be patience. Final Results. $$$$$$$.
