Road Rash Injuries As A Result Of A Crash

MotorcycleAccident

With the beautiful beaches and stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, there are many reasons to bicycle, skateboard, and motorcycle in Florida. But what starts as a wonderful day out can lead to pain and hospital visits when an accident occurs. And because people traveling on wheels but out of cars are more exposed, skin injuries such as road rash are possible. With thousands of bike, motorcycle, and skateboard accidents each year in Florida, many are dealing with the pain and upset of a road rash injury.

The time and care needed to recover from a Florida road rash injury will depend on the level of harm sustained. A personal injury settlement could be a path to paying all of the medical expenses incurred as the result of the crash. Compensation has been established for injuries after scooter collisions, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle crashes. If you are recovering from road rash sustained in a Clearwater, Hudson, or Tampa accident, connect with a legal professional.

Level of Care and Degree of Injury

Similar to burn injuries, road rashes are diagnosed with a degree of severity. Following this standard is a way for a medical team to easily communicate with one another on the level of care that will be required in order for an individual to heal.

  • Third degree. Serious skin injury resulting in muscle, bone, or nerve exposure and damage with a high infection risk.
  • Second degree. Extra care and attention is needed as lower layers of skin have been impacted and exposed.
  • First degree. Only the outer layer of skin harmed and healing with home care is possible.

Swelling, not feeling well, and warmth can all be indicators of infection. Often individuals experiencing an infection connected to a skin injury will feel as if they have the flu, with symptoms such as aches and chills. Immediate care and treatment is required as infections can carry serious health risks.

Talk to a Lawyer About Your Road Rash Injury

While injuries that are less severe can heal with home care, you may still be facing income loss and high insurance copays. And severe injuries can be life altering and carry emotional distress. Financial recovery is possible in a range of situations, including for accident victims who sustain minor or severe injuries. Discuss your need for compensation with a Florida personal injury lawyer to learn more.
