A motorcycle rider is relatively unprotected compared to a car or truck driver. In a motorcycle crash, the rider is typically thrown from the vehicle, leaving him or her vulnerable to painful abrasions commonly known as road rash. If you or a loved one has suffered road rash or disfigurement in a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at John K. Zaid & Associates, PLLC, are here to protect your rights.

Road Rash
When a driver is thrown from or dragged behind a motorcycle, any bare skin that comes into contact with asphalt, pavement, gravel and other road surfaces can become badly injured. Even if the crash victim is wearing a full leather outfit, it does not always protect the skin.
Road rash tears away layers of the skin, sometimes down to the muscle and bone. It can be difficult to treat and often results in painful and dangerous infections as well as nerve damage and other conditions.
Scarring and Disfigurement
When road rash or another bike injury leads to scarring and disfigurement, it can greatly affect the quality of life of the victim. If you have suffered such an injury, you may require skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, rehabilitation and other painful, expensive treatments. Depending on the location of the wound, it could affect everything in your life from your job status to your self-esteem. Our lawyers will work with you personally to help you determine the full extent of damage and to seek compensation that addresses all of your needs.
