Burn Injuries and Motorcycle Accidents (Part B)

Road rash isn’t akin to a scraped knee or something that can be easily addressed with a bandage. Road rash is a serious motorcycle accident injury and is associated with:

  • Compression injuries – Usually occur when a motorcyclist’s arm or leg is caught between the motorcycle and road. This type of road rash causes bruising or crushing.
  • Avulsion injuries – Layers of skin are scraped away in a more severe form of road rash. If fat and muscle are exposed, this is known as a full-thickness wound.
  • Deep cuts and open wounds – Stitches are sometimes needed when there are open wounds. Road rash wounds that are opened are typically the result of a motorcycle accident occurring at high speed. Stitches will close the wounds. This type of injury is at risk of infection.

Motorcycle Burn Injuries – Burns from Spilled Gas

Because of the design of motorcycles, gas can end up spilling during a motorcycle accident. Burns of this nature can result in severe damage and require skin grafting. This can mean a lengthy hospital stay and huge medical bills. In this type of incident, a motorcycle accident victim may need to consult with a Chicago motorcycle accident lawyer about options for pursuing compensation in an accident claim.

 

Motorcycle Burn Injuries – Burns from Mechanical Fires

Mechanical fires can occur as a result of a motorcycle accident. Burn injuries from heat and fire are classified as 1st, 2nd or 3rd degree. The most severe type of burn to receive is a 3rd degree burn.

Severe burns can affect nerves, bones, muscles and blood vessels. However the most common injury is to the skin

.

Recovering From Motorcycle Burn Injuries

Motorcycle burn injuries of any sort can be extremely traumatic for the victim and result in life-altering medical complications. Medical treatment and therapy can be very costly. Recovery also requires a victim to lose time from work, resulting in lost wages.
