This type of injury typically happens when a rider's unprotected skin comes into direct contact with the pavement, causing friction and tearing of the skin layers. The severity of road rash can vary, ranging from minor scrapes and bruises to deep lacerations that may require surgical intervention.
Many victims of motorcycle accidents also suffer internal injuries such as organ damage. These injuries can be very painful and may lead to serious symptoms. However, in certain cases, the pain caused by internal injuries does not become evident until days after victims’ crashes.
If you suspect that you may have sustained an internal injury as the result of your motorcycle accident, then you should visit a doctor as soon as you can. The team at our law firm can help locate the right physician for you.

In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
