Road Rash Injury Lawyer Connecticut – What Riders Need to Know
If you’ve ever hit the pavement—literally—you know that road rash is more than just a surface-level scrape. It’s painful. It’s prone to infection. And in serious cases, it can leave permanent scarring or nerve damage.
Whether it happened during a motorcycle accident, a bike crash, or even a pedestrian fall, Connecticut law allows you to seek compensation if someone else’s negligence caused it. Let’s talk about what road rash really means—and what to do next if you’re the one left healing.
So, What Is Road Rash, Exactly?
“Road rash” is the term used when your skin scrapes against a rough surface like asphalt or concrete. It’s common in:
Scooter or bicycle crashes
The friction literally tears away layers of your skin. And depending on the depth, road rash can be classified as:
Third-degree cases are often surgical wounds, not “just scrapes.” They can lead to infection, skin grafts, and permanent scarring.
The Hidden Dangers
Here’s what many don’t realize: untreated or improperly cleaned road rash can lead to:
Permanent nerve damage
And if the injury occurs on the hands, face, or joints? It can interfere with work, driving, or even basic daily tasks.
How Road Rash Happens in Connecticut
At L.A. LAW, we’ve seen clients get road rash from:
- Motorcycle accidents on Route 2, I-84, and back roads (link to motorcycle)
- Cycling accidents caused by potholes or reckless drivers
- Pedestrian falls due to cracked sidewalks or icy walkways (link to pedestrian)
- Scooter crashes caused by lack of protective barriers or debris
Sometimes it’s a distracted driver. Sometimes it’s a poorly maintained property. Either way, if you were hurt and someone else is responsible, you may have a claim.
