“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries are among the most challenging injuries to treat in Ada, OK. When someone else’s negligence causes nerve damage, the law gives you the right to pursue recovery. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. The nervous system controls movement, sensation, and organ function—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 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 vehicle wrecks, premises liability incidents, and any accident that damages the nerves directly or through related injuries. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a particularly devastating nerve condition—requiring specialized medical care and significant damages. Care for nerve injuries often involves multiple specialists and ongoing care—and many patients require lifetime medical management. Even after intervention, some patients face lifelong limitations—with consequences extending decades into the future. Our Ada nerve injury lawyers understand the full impact of nerve injuries—not just current medical costs but lifetime consequences. We consult with nerve specialists and rehabilitation professionals to prove the lasting impact of nerve damage. Objective medical evidence matters—documenting the physical reality of your injury. We recover all available damages including hospital costs, ongoing treatment, lifetime medications, lost income, suffering, and the lasting impact on your daily activities. Many nerve damage victims can’t return to previous work—particularly in trades requiring fine motor control, lifting, or sustained physical activity. Adjusters may dispute the cause or severity of nerve injuries—claiming the injury existed before the accident. We don’t let them. All nerve injury claims is handled on a contingency fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—future medical needs may not be apparent immediately. Call McKay Law now for a no-cost case review with a Ada, OK personal injury attorney who will pursue every dollar your case is worth.
Nerve injuries are some of the most life-altering injuries. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, so injury can produce severe long-term consequences. Unlike most injuries, nerves often don’t fully heal. Some nerve damage is permanent and produces lifelong disability. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Ada and throughout Oklahoma.

There are several ways nerves can be injured:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is one of the worst nerve conditions that follows trauma. 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 apply.
We work with treating physicians, neurologists, and pain specialists to document the full extent of nerve damage, get nerve conduction studies and electromyography, fight back against pre-existing condition claims, account for the lasting damage, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, work with mental health professionals, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.

Nerves are the communication network that join every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is stretched in an accident, the consequences are anything but minor. 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 agonizing: 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 plague a victim for years. At McKay Law, we tackle nerve damage cases by working alongside 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 tend to brush aside nerve injury claims because the damage is not visible in 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 join the McKay Law family, we don’t accept those tactics. We pursue 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, lost wages, diminished earning ability for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has destroyed, and the chronic pain and suffering that accompanies a nerve injury.
