THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT TREATING A LACERATION

 
As a motorcyclist, you know that any fall from your bike could result in a serious injury. This can include everything from broken bones to lacerations.
Treating a laceration is easier said than done, especially if you're dealing with other injuries at the same time.

Before we go any further, you need to know one thing: There are times when a laceration must be treated by a medical professional. You should seek immediate medical attention if:
  • The cut is bleeding severely.
  • You are finding it difficult to stop the bleeding.
  • The blood is spurting from your body.

Along with the above, it's important to note that any laceration that requires stitches should be treated within six hours.

If you suffer a laceration, the first thing you should do is apply pressure to the area. Your goal with taking this step is to stop the bleeding.

From there, clean the area, if possible, and then add a layer of protection.

Finally, don't wait to see a health care provider. If you've suffered a laceration in a motorcycle accident, for instance, you won't want to delay in seeking medical treatment. Not only can a medical professional treat your laceration, but they can also check you for other injuries.

Depending on the severity of a laceration, this can impact your health in a number of ways. Furthermore, the most severe cuts can cause permanent scarring.

If you ever find yourself involved in a motorcycle accident, first focus your attention on receiving medical treatment. From there, you can learn more about your legal rights.
