“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries can cause permanent disability, chronic pain, and loss of function in Bixby, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law advocates 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. We represent clients with damage to motor nerves controlling movement, sensory nerves controlling feeling, and autonomic nerves controlling organ function. Nerve damage typically causes symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to complete loss of movement or sensation. These injuries typically result from auto crashes, falls, on-the-job incidents, medical malpractice, and traumatic impacts. CRPS involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—that can spread throughout the body. Treatment for nerve damage often involves multiple specialists and ongoing care—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. Even with the best medical care, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Bixby personal injury attorneys understand the full impact of nerve injuries—with attention to the often-invisible nature of nerve damage. We work with neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and life care planners to demonstrate the lifetime cost of treatment. Imaging and nerve studies provide essential proof—documenting the physical reality of your injury. We recover all available damages including emergency care, long-term medical needs, lost earnings, and full compensation for chronic pain and disability. These injuries frequently cause significant lost earning capacity—making vocational evaluation essential. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—claiming the injury existed before the accident. We counter with objective testing, expert testimony, and detailed medical documentation. Every nerve damage injury case is handled on a contingency fee basis—zero upfront cost. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—the true value of your case may not be clear for many months.

Nerve damage produces some of the most devastating long-term consequences. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, 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 Bixby and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system has two parts:
There are several ways nerves can be injured:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a devastating chronic pain condition that develops after injury. CRPS symptoms include:
CRPS cases involve substantial damages.
Oklahoma generally gives 2 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, secure objective testing, push back against pre-existing condition arguments, include future medical needs and permanent impairment, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, work with mental health professionals, and treat each matter as trial-ready.

A: Definitely. Progressive nerve damage from past accidents is fully compensable.
A: Yes, in many cases. Workers’ compensation covers workplace nerve damage; third-party claims may apply.
A: That’s a common insurance ploy. Objective testing like EMG and nerve conduction studies, along with treating doctor opinions, establish real nerve damage.
A: Don’t. Call us first.
A: 2 years from the date of the incident (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Move quickly — early diagnosis and treatment matter.

Nerve damage cases face a fundamental measurement problem. Pain doesn’t show up on x-rays. Subjective symptoms dominate. Nerve damage manifests in ways that don’t translate to simple measurement. These cases face proof challenges that don’t apply to objectively visible injuries. A local attorney experienced with nerve injury claims builds these cases around the actual neurological evidence.
Symptoms can’t be objectively verified easily. Nerve damage manifestations are patient-reported.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Standard imaging like X-rays and MRIs may not show nerve injury.
Specialized testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. These tests aren’t always ordered.
Nerve damage symptoms can develop gradually.
This generates causation questions.
Following nerve injury, recovery is often incomplete.
Nerves regenerate slowly when they regenerate at all.
Peripheral neuropathy represents most nerve damage cases.
Brachial plexus is vulnerable to trauma.
Brachial plexus damage varies from temporary issues to permanent damage.

Nerves are the signal pathways that tie every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is stretched 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 relentless: 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 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 often try 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 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, lost wages, reduced future income for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has taken, and the profound pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Contact us now at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to arrange your free consultation and place a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do in your corner.
