“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Peripheral nerve injuries are among the most challenging injuries to treat in Guymon, OK. When someone else’s negligence causes nerve damage, 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 nerves are injured, the resulting dysfunction can be permanent. Common types of nerve damage include peripheral nerve damage in the arms and legs, brachial plexus injuries affecting the shoulder and arm, sciatic nerve damage causing leg pain and weakness, ulnar and median nerve injuries in the hands, facial nerve damage causing paralysis, spinal nerve injuries, cranial nerve damage, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Common signs of nerve injuries numbness, tingling, burning pain, electric shock sensations, muscle weakness, paralysis, loss of coordination, sensitivity to touch, chronic pain, muscle atrophy, twitching, and loss of fine motor control. These injuries typically result from vehicle wrecks, premises liability incidents, and any accident that damages the nerves directly or through related injuries. CRPS involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—that can spread throughout the body. Medical treatment can be complex, expensive, and sometimes ineffective—with options ranging from medications to complex reconstructive surgery. Even after intervention, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Guymon nerve injury lawyers understand the full impact of nerve injuries—including how these injuries affect work, daily activities, and quality of life. We consult with nerve specialists and rehabilitation professionals to demonstrate the lifetime cost of treatment. Imaging and nerve studies provide essential proof—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We fight for every dollar including hospital costs, ongoing treatment, lifetime medications, lost income, suffering, and the lasting impact on your daily activities. These injuries frequently cause significant lost earning capacity—making vocational evaluation essential. Adjusters may dispute the cause or severity of nerve injuries—arguing the injury isn’t real because nerve damage is often invisible. We counter with objective testing, expert testimony, and detailed medical documentation. All nerve injury claims is handled on a contingency basis—zero upfront cost. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—future medical needs may not be apparent immediately.

Nerve damage produces some of the most devastating long-term consequences. Nerves are essential for movement and sensation, and damage to them can cause chronic pain, paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function. Unlike many other injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Permanent nerve damage is common. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims in Guymon and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system is divided into two main systems:
Nerves can be damaged in several ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a devastating chronic pain condition 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). 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, get nerve conduction studies and electromyography, 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 treat each matter as trial-ready.

Nerve injuries are uniquely difficult to prove. Nerve damage often produces symptoms without visible objective findings. Subjective symptoms dominate. Functional limitations are hard to measure. This creates significant proof challenges for an injury category that can be devastating. A Guymon nerve damage attorney builds these cases around the actual neurological evidence.
Nerve symptoms are typically subjective. Common nerve symptoms come from the patient.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Common imaging studies may not show nerve injury.
Nerve-specific testing can document nerve damage. Not every case includes specialized testing.
Nerve damage may not be immediately apparent.
This produces temporal causation challenges.
Following nerve injury, recovery is often incomplete.
Damaged nerves may not fully recover.
Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord is the typical nerve injury type.
The brachial plexus is the network of nerves controlling the arm is vulnerable to trauma.
Brachial plexus damage varies from stretching to avulsion.
Median nerve compression can develop from trauma.
Cubital tunnel syndrome.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Sciatica commonly results from spinal injuries.
Damage to nerve roots often results from spinal injuries.
Nerve root compression creates radiating symptoms.

Nerves are the communication network that join every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is crushed in an accident, the consequences are anything but minor. Nerve injuries result 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 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 manage nerve damage cases by consulting neurologists, pain management specialists, electromyography experts, and occupational therapists who can capture the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers tend to reduce 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 uncover the harm in ways adjusters can’t talk their way out of. When you come into the McKay Law family, we refuse those tactics. We chase complete 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, missed paychecks, loss of livelihood for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has taken, and the chronic pain and suffering that attends a nerve injury. Contact us today at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to set up your free consultation and put a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do fighting for you.
