“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries are among the most challenging injuries to treat in Harrah, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, the law gives you the right to pursue recovery. 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. We represent clients with damage to motor nerves controlling movement, sensory nerves controlling feeling, and autonomic nerves controlling organ function. 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. Nerve damage is often caused by auto crashes, falls, on-the-job incidents, medical malpractice, and traumatic impacts. 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. Despite excellent treatment, some patients face lifelong limitations—with consequences extending decades into the future. Our Harrah 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. Diagnostic testing is critical—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We pursue full compensation including hospital costs, ongoing treatment, lifetime medications, lost income, suffering, and the lasting impact on your daily activities. Nerve injuries often end careers in physical occupations—making vocational evaluation essential. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—labeling pain “exaggerated” or symptoms “psychological”. We counter with objective testing, expert testimony, and detailed medical documentation. Every nerve damage injury case is handled on a contingency basis—zero upfront cost. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—future medical needs may not be apparent immediately.

Nerve injuries are some of the most life-altering injuries. Nerves are essential for movement and sensation, so damage to them causes major impairment. Unlike most injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Many nerve injuries result in lifetime disability. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims in Harrah and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system has two parts:
Nerve damage can occur multiple ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)/RSD is one of the worst nerve conditions that develops after injury. CRPS produces:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
Oklahoma generally gives two 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 establish the lasting impact, pursue EMG and nerve conduction studies, defeat “prior injury” defenses, value the case for both current losses and lifetime impact, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, coordinate with mental health providers for pain-related psychological damage, and build each file for the courtroom.
A: Major. Permanent nerve damage involves major damages including lifetime medical care, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
A: Zero upfront. No recovery, no fee.
A: Substantial damages. CRPS cases involve major medical bills, lifetime treatment, lost earning capacity, and significant pain and suffering damages.
A: Absolutely. Progressive nerve injuries are recoverable.
A: Yes, in many cases. Workplace nerve injuries support workers’ comp and potentially third-party claims.
A: That’s a defense tactic. Objective testing like EMG and nerve conduction studies, along with treating doctor opinions, establish real nerve damage.
A: No. Call us first.
A: 2 years from the date of the incident (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Move quickly — early diagnosis and treatment matter.
A: Depends on the injury. Case valuation must include possible future surgery.
Nerve damage occupies a particularly contested space in personal injury law. Nerve damage often produces symptoms without visible objective findings. Numbness can’t be measured with a scan. Weakness varies in ways that defy easy quantification. These cases face proof challenges that don’t apply to objectively visible injuries. An attorney familiar with these complex cases builds these cases around the actual neurological evidence.
Nerve damage symptoms are largely subjective. Common nerve symptoms are patient-reported.
Without objective findings, insurers challenge symptom reports.
Standard diagnostic imaging frequently miss nerve damage.
Nerve-specific testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. But specialized testing isn’t always done.
Symptoms often emerge over time.
This creates temporal causation challenges.

Nerves regenerate slowly when they regenerate at all.
Peripheral nerve injuries is the typical nerve injury type.
Brachial plexus is vulnerable to trauma.
These injuries vary from mild stretching to complete avulsion.

Nerves are the wiring that connect every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is damaged 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 debilitating: burning pain that won’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 plague a victim for years. At McKay Law, we manage 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 often try to downplay nerve injury claims because the damage is absent from 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 become part of the McKay Law family, we refuse those tactics. We chase 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, 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 stolen, and the crushing pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Reach us now at (866) 679-9651 or contact us online to arrange your free consultation and bring a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do on your side.
