Degloving injuries are very serious injuries where the skin, soft tissues, tendons and muscles are ripped off the bone akin to removing a glove from your hand.

One of the primary causes of degloving injuries are pedestrian, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents where an individual is dragged by a car along the roadway or run over by a vehicle. Another major cause is industrial or work accidents involving large equipment or machinery such as tractors, conveyor belts, forklifts, drill presses, cranes, back hoes, and similar equipment. Degloving injuries occur when someone’s arm or foot gets caught in a machine and pulled or crushed by the machine leading to avulsion injury where the skin gets peeled or pulled off. In a crush injury, the limb is crushed by the machine. If you have been involved in a degloving accident, a Brooklyn degloving accident lawyer should be consulted immediately. Our experienced Brooklyn construction accident injury team can take a look at your claim and help guide you through the legal process.

My case was with a previous firm that sold me out (low settlement) to the insurance company. I transferred my case to Frekhtman and Associates. The insurance company wasn't ready for their tenacious Trial Attorney Mogg. Mr. Mogg worked on my case day and night. Mr. Frekhtman took the time to meet with me over Zoom. These lawyers took the time to deep dive into my case and reworked it to an equitable settlement. I am forever grateful to Mr. Frekhtman, Mr. Mogg and Stephany Delon.

Causes of Degloving Injuries

Negligent drivers are one of the most common culprits. A motorist who drags a pedestrian during a car accident can strip skin and tissue from an entire limb in seconds. Defective machinery is another major source of these injuries, particularly equipment with design flaws or missing safety guards that pull workers’ hands or arms into moving parts, creating products liability claims against manufacturers.

Construction and industrial sites carry their own risks. OSHA violations, absent safety training, and unsafe work practices create conditions where degloving becomes a predictable outcome, not a freak accident.

If any of these circumstances caused your injury, speak with an NYC degloving injury lawyer about your options.

Degloving injuries require multiple reconstructive surgeries, extended rehabilitation, and months away from work. The responsible party’s insurance company will move quickly to limit what it pays out, often before you’ve had time to understand the full extent of your injuries.
