“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries can cause permanent disability, chronic pain, and loss of function in Edmond, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law fights for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. The nervous system controls movement, sensation, and organ function—when nerves are injured, the resulting dysfunction can be permanent. We represent clients with 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. 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. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy deserves special legal attention—disproportionate to the initial injury. Medical treatment can be complex, expensive, and sometimes ineffective—with options ranging from medications to complex reconstructive surgery. Even after intervention, nerve function may never fully recover—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Edmond nerve injury lawyers recognize 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. Diagnostic testing is critical—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We fight for every dollar 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—requiring lifetime income loss calculations. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—arguing the injury isn’t real because nerve damage is often invisible. We push back with hard evidence. All nerve injury claims is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time.

Nerve damage is among the most disabling injuries in personal injury law. Nerves control movement, sensation, and bodily functions, so damage to them causes major impairment. Unlike many types of injuries, nerve injuries are often permanent. Some nerve damage is permanent and produces lifelong disability. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Edmond and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system is divided into two main systems:
There are several ways nerves can be injured:
CRPS, also known as RSD is one of the worst nerve conditions that develops after injury. CRPS produces:
CRPS cases involve substantial damages.
You typically have two years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Symptoms may develop 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, address chronic pain damages, work with mental health professionals, and treat each matter as trial-ready.

Nerve injuries are uniquely difficult to prove. Pain doesn’t show up on x-rays. The symptoms patients report are often more significant than the objective findings. Nerve damage manifests in ways that don’t translate to simple measurement. This creates significant proof challenges for an injury category that can be devastating. A Edmond nerve damage attorney builds these cases around the actual neurological evidence.
Nerve damage symptoms are largely subjective. Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations are patient-reported.
Without clear imaging findings, insurers challenge symptom reports.
Standard imaging like X-rays and MRIs don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Advanced nerve testing can document nerve damage. These tests aren’t always ordered.
Symptoms often emerge over time.
This generates temporal causation challenges.

Nerves are the electrical system that link every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is severed in an accident, the consequences are deeply serious. Nerve injuries emerge from 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 haunt a victim for years. At McKay Law, we tackle nerve damage cases by partnering with neurologists, pain management specialists, electromyography experts, and occupational therapists who can document the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers are quick 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 reveal 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 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, lost earning capacity for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has stolen, and the chronic pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Phone us now at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to arrange your free consultation and put a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do on your side.
