“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries are among the most challenging injuries to treat in Chickasha, OK. When wrongful conduct results in damage to your nervous system, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. Nerves are responsible for every signal your body sends and receives—when nerves are damaged, the consequences can affect every aspect of life. Types of nerve injuries we handle include damage to motor nerves controlling movement, sensory nerves controlling feeling, and autonomic nerves controlling organ function. Nerve damage typically causes sensory disturbances, motor weakness, chronic pain conditions, and loss of function. Nerve damage is often caused by car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck wrecks, slip-and-falls, workplace accidents, surgical errors, defective products, sports collisions, and crush injuries. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a particularly devastating nerve condition—disproportionate to the initial injury. Medical treatment often involves multiple specialists and ongoing care—with options ranging from medications to complex reconstructive surgery. Even with the best medical care, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Chickasha personal injury attorneys know the full impact of nerve injuries—with attention to the often-invisible nature of nerve damage. We partner with medical experts and treating physicians to prove the lasting impact of nerve damage. Imaging and nerve studies provide essential proof—including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), MRI imaging, and specialist evaluations. 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. Nerve injuries often end careers in physical occupations—making vocational evaluation essential. Adjusters may dispute the cause or severity of nerve injuries—labeling pain “exaggerated” or symptoms “psychological”. We push back with hard evidence. Every client we represent is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t accept an offer while still in active treatment—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time.

Nerve damage is among the most disabling injuries in personal injury law. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, and damage to them can cause chronic pain, paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function. Unlike many other injuries, nerves often don’t fully heal. Permanent nerve damage is common. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Chickasha and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system has two parts:
Nerve damage can occur multiple ways:
CRPS, also known as RSD is a devastating chronic pain condition that develops after injury. CRPS symptoms include:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
The deadline in Oklahoma is 2 years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Symptoms may develop over time, so discovery rule may extend deadlines in some cases.
We coordinate with the medical team to build a complete medical record, pursue EMG and nerve conduction studies, fight back against pre-existing condition claims, value the case for both current losses and lifetime impact, build evidence of pain and CRPS, partner with mental health specialists, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
A: Substantial. Nerve damage cases typically involve major damages.
A: Nothing. No fee unless we recover.
A: Substantial damages. Major case value typical with CRPS.
A: Absolutely. Progressive nerve damage from past accidents is fully compensable.
A: Yes, possibly. Workplace nerve damage is recoverable through workers’ comp; third-party claims may also apply.
A: That’s a defense tactic. Objective medical evidence establishes nerve damage.
A: Don’t. Refer them to your attorney.
A: 2 years from the date of the incident (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Move quickly — early diagnosis and treatment matter.
A: Sometimes. Many nerve injuries require surgical repair or ongoing surgical intervention.
Nerve damage cases face a fundamental measurement problem. Pain doesn’t show up on x-rays. Numbness can’t be measured with a scan. Nerve damage manifests in ways that don’t translate to simple measurement. This makes building these cases distinctively challenging despite their potential severity. An attorney familiar with these complex cases knows how to overcome the proof challenges.
Nerve damage symptoms are largely subjective. Common nerve symptoms are patient-reported.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Common imaging studies may not show nerve injury.
Specialized testing may demonstrate nerve damage. But specialized testing isn’t always done.
Symptoms often emerge over time.
This produces causation questions.
Following nerve injury, return to baseline is rare.
Nerve healing is slow and limited.
Peripheral neuropathy is the typical nerve injury type.
Arm nerve network is vulnerable to trauma.
These injuries vary from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Median nerve compression develops from various causes.
Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve commonly results from spinal injuries.
Damage to nerve roots frequently accompanies spinal injuries.

Nerves are the communication network that connect every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is crushed in an accident, the consequences are far from minor. Nerve injuries come out of 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 doesn’t 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 follow a victim for years. At McKay Law, we handle nerve damage cases by consulting 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 love to minimize nerve injury claims because the damage is hidden from most basic imaging studies — but EMG and nerve conduction studies, MRI imaging, and the consistent testimony of treating physicians can demonstrate 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 fight for maximum 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, time away from work, lost earning capacity for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has destroyed, and the profound pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Contact us today at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to schedule your free consultation and put a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do on your side.
