Yes, provided you can prove that the injuries resulted from the accident and that the accident was not your fault.
Don’t let an ignorant insurance agent tell you that your road rash is no more than a simple “carpet burn.” This simply is not true. Road rash is a serious, extremely painful injury, and you deserve to be compensated for it.
If you’ve been the victim of road rash in a Maryland motorcycle accident, then you may be experiencing a number of complications, including:
- Torn flesh from where the rash went particularly deep
- Infection from gravel or other debris imbedding into your skin
- Need for plastic surgery to replace worn off skin
Road rash can occur in any serious motorcycle accident, regardless of how careful you are. Wearing protective gear makes a difference in lessening your injuries, but even heavy-duty clothing can’t protect you fully from the elements in a serious crash.
People often associate motorcycles with dangerous behavior and therefore may be less sympathetic toward you than they would be toward someone injured in another car accident. If that’s the case, contact an experienced Maryland motorcycle accident attorney who is on your side and will fight for your rights.
