Road Rash

Road rash from a motorcycle accident usually results in permanent scarring and is worth a lot of money in a personal injury claim. But even a minor road rash from a motorcycle accident is a valuable injury.

Motorcyclists Can Get Money For a Minor Scar or Road Rash In New York

In New York, people injured in a car accident are required to have a serious injury. But motorcyclists are not. In New York, motorcyclists can file a personal injury claim or a personal injury lawsuit for even the most minor injury.

In New York, motorcyclists are not entitled to no-fault insurance benefits, so that means motorcyclists can get money from a personal injury claim for the most minor road rash or scar in a motorcycle accident.

Road Rash Over Your Tattoo Can “Mess Up” Your Tattoo!

If you have a tattoo, road rash can destroy the artwork of your tattoo or even result in removing the tattoo. It’s like disfiguring a valuable painting!

A road rash scar is a valuable injury worth a lot of money when settling a motorcycle accident case. But road rash that disfigured, distorts, or messes up your tattoo art results in additional damages worth even more money.
