“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Peripheral nerve injuries can cause permanent disability, chronic pain, and loss of function in Alva, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law fights for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. Nerves are responsible for every signal your body sends and receives—when nerve injuries occur, the impact extends far beyond the injury site. Common types of nerve damage include nerve compression injuries, severed nerves, nerve root damage, and chronic nerve pain conditions. Nerve damage typically causes symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to complete loss of movement or sensation. These injuries typically result from car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck wrecks, slip-and-falls, workplace accidents, surgical errors, defective products, sports collisions, and crush injuries. CRPS deserves special legal attention—requiring specialized medical care and significant damages. Treatment for nerve damage may include surgical and non-surgical approaches—including nerve repair surgery, nerve grafts, nerve transfers, pain management injections, medication therapy, physical and occupational therapy, electrical stimulation devices, and in some cases, amputation. Even with the best medical care, nerve function may never fully recover—with consequences extending decades into the future. Our Alva nerve damage injury attorneys understand the full impact of nerve injuries—including how these injuries affect work, daily activities, and quality of life. We work with neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and life care planners to prove the lasting impact of nerve damage. Objective medical evidence matters—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We recover all available damages including medical bills, future surgeries, lifetime pain management, physical therapy, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. Many nerve damage victims can’t return to previous work—particularly in trades requiring fine motor control, lifting, or sustained physical activity. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—claiming the injury existed before the accident. We don’t let them. Every client we represent is handled on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time. Reach out to McKay Law right away for a complimentary evaluation with a Alva, OK nerve injury attorney who will stand up to the insurance companies on your behalf.
Nerve damage is among the most disabling injuries in personal injury law. Nerves control movement, sensation, and bodily functions, so injury can produce severe long-term consequences. Unlike many types of injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Many nerve injuries result in lifetime disability. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims in Alva and across the state.
There are two parts to the nervous system:
Nerve damage can occur multiple ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a particularly devastating nerve condition that follows trauma. Symptoms include:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
Oklahoma generally gives 2 years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Some nerve damage develops over time, so Oklahoma’s discovery rule may apply in some cases.
We partner with medical specialists to establish the lasting impact, pursue EMG and nerve conduction studies, defeat “prior injury” defenses, include future medical needs and permanent impairment, build evidence of pain and CRPS, work with mental health professionals, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
A: Major. Permanent nerve damage produces substantial case values.
A: Zero upfront. No fee unless we recover.
A: Substantial damages. CRPS cases involve major medical bills, lifetime treatment, lost earning capacity, and significant pain and suffering damages.
A: Absolutely. Worsening nerve damage from past trauma supports claims.

Nerve damage occupies a particularly contested space in personal injury law. Nerve symptoms aren’t visible on imaging. Numbness can’t be measured with a scan. Weakness varies in ways that defy easy quantification. This creates significant proof challenges for an injury category that can be devastating. An attorney familiar with these complex cases knows how to overcome the proof challenges.
Nerve damage symptoms are largely subjective. Common nerve symptoms are reported by the patient.
Without visible damage, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Common imaging studies don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Specialized testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. These tests aren’t always ordered.
Nerve damage symptoms can develop gradually.
This creates temporal causation challenges.
After nerve damage, recovery is often incomplete.
Nerves regenerate slowly when they regenerate at all.

Brachial plexus can be injured by significant trauma.
These injuries vary from temporary issues to permanent damage.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can develop from trauma.

Nerves are the signal pathways that tie every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is stretched in an accident, the consequences are deeply serious. Nerve injuries follow car crashes, falls, workplace accidents, dog bites, surgical errors, crush injuries, and any traumatic event that involves sudden force or compression to the spine, limbs, or extremities. The symptoms range from crushing: burning pain that never let up, numbness and tingling that disrupts sleep, muscle weakness that affects basic tasks like gripping a pen or buttoning a shirt, loss of sensation in hands and feet, paralysis of specific muscle groups, and complex regional pain syndrome that can plague a victim for years. At McKay Law, we take on nerve damage cases by partnering with neurologists, pain management specialists, electromyography experts, and occupational therapists who can verify the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers often try to brush aside nerve injury claims because the damage is invisible on most basic imaging studies — but EMG and nerve conduction studies, MRI imaging, and the consistent testimony of treating physicians can expose the harm in ways adjusters can’t talk their way out of. When you partner with the McKay Law family, we push back against those tactics. We pursue full compensation for diagnostic testing, neurological treatment, surgical nerve repair when possible, pain management procedures, ongoing physical and occupational therapy, prescription medications and pain pumps, adaptive equipment, future medical needs, lost income, reduced future income for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has robbed, and the relentless pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Contact us today at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to arrange your free consultation and place a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do behind you.
