Mustang Brain Injury Attorney | McKay Law
A traumatic brain injury can change everything in an instant. The person who walked out the door that morning may not be the same person who returns home. Memory, personality, mood, motor skills, the ability to work, even the simple ability to recognize loved ones—each of these can be altered, often permanently. If a brain injury has affected you or someone close to you in Mustang, Oklahoma, McKay Law is here to fight for the answers, accountability, and full compensation you deserve.
What Traumatic Brain Injuries Really Mean
A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, happens when an external force damages the brain—including blunt force, sudden jolts, penetrating trauma, or violent acceleration. These injuries are frequently labeled “invisible” because their effects often can’t be seen on the surface. However, the impact is profoundly real, often permanent, and devastating for the injured person and those who love them.
TBI severity varies widely, from mild concussions to severe injuries that result in lasting coma. Even injuries labeled “mild” can lead to long-term symptoms—a fact insurance companies routinely try to ignore.
Common Causes of Brain Injuries in Mustang
Brain injuries can result from countless preventable circumstances. McKay Law handles Mustang brain injury cases caused by:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents from high-impact crashes to rear-end wrecks
- Slip and fall accidents on poorly maintained property
- Workplace and oilfield accidents common across Oklahoma
- Building site incidents including impacts from tools, debris, or falling materials
- Sports and recreational injuries including those caused by faulty equipment or negligent supervision
- Physical assaults including incidents on negligently secured property
- Medical errors such as anesthesia errors or surgical mistakes that deprive the brain of oxygen
- Delivery room errors resulting from inadequate care during pregnancy or childbirth
- Defective products including unsafe helmets, airbags, or vehicle parts
- Near-drowning events leading to lack of oxygen and brain damage
Brain Injury Types Our Firm Represents
TBIs come in many forms, and demonstrating the true scope of harm demands medical expertise. Our team has experience with cases involving:
- Mild traumatic brain injuries with lingering post-concussion effects
- Cerebral contusions that cause swelling and tissue damage
- Widespread nerve fiber damage caused by violent shaking or rotational forces
- Coup-contrecoup trauma damage on both sides of the brain
- Penetrating brain injuries from objects piercing the skull
- Brain damage from lack of oxygen caused by interrupted oxygen supply to the brain
- Repeat concussion syndrome when a second injury occurs before the first has healed
- Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) from repeated blows to the head
Signs and Symptoms of Brain Injury
Brain injury symptoms aren’t always obvious right away, with many emerging or intensifying over the days and weeks following the incident. Common symptoms include:
- Recurring head pain, dizziness, or coordination issues
- Mental fog, forgetfulness, or concentration difficulties
- Nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound
- Speech impairment or word-retrieval problems
- Sudden mood changes, frustration, sadness, or anxious feelings
- Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or excessive sleeping
- Seizure activity
- Brief or extended loss of consciousness
- Personality changes that family members notice before the survivor does
If you notice any of these signs following an accident, get medical care right away and keep thorough records—both your health and your case depend on it.
How Brain Injuries Affect a Lifetime
TBIs rank among the costliest injuries any person can endure. Lifetime medical costs can reach into the millions of dollars, and that’s before you factor in lost earnings, the cost of family caregiving, and lost enjoyment of life. Treatment typically involves:
- Emergency surgery and intensive care
- Extended hospital stays and inpatient rehab
- Cognitive, physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Psychological counseling and psychiatric care
- Home health aides, personal care attendants, or assisted living
- Pharmaceuticals and assistive equipment
- Adaptive changes to home environments
- Job retraining or permanent disability supports
Insurers consistently attempt to undervalue brain injury claims. We collaborate with top neurologists, neuropsychologists, life care planners, and forensic economists to establish the complete cost of your injury, today and over your lifetime.
Damages You May Recover in Your Mustang Brain Injury Claim

- In-home and long-term care
- Past lost income and the loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental suffering
- Diminished ability to enjoy daily living
- Loss of companionship for spouses
- Punitive awards where the at-fault party acted with extreme recklessness
