“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries range from temporary numbness to life-altering paralysis in Blanchard, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. Nerves transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body—when nerves are injured, the resulting dysfunction can be permanent. Types of nerve injuries we handle 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). Nerve damage typically causes symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to complete loss of movement or sensation. Common causes of nerve damage auto crashes, falls, on-the-job incidents, medical malpractice, and traumatic impacts. CRPS deserves special legal attention—that can spread throughout the body. Care for nerve injuries often involves multiple specialists and ongoing care—and many patients require lifetime medical management. Even after intervention, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Blanchard nerve damage injury attorneys understand the full impact of nerve injuries—not just current medical costs but lifetime consequences. We partner with medical experts and treating physicians to document the full extent of your injury. Objective medical evidence matters—including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), MRI imaging, and specialist evaluations. We recover all available damages including medical bills, future surgeries, lifetime pain management, physical therapy, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. Many nerve damage victims can’t return to previous work—requiring lifetime income loss calculations. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—arguing the injury isn’t real because nerve damage is often invisible. We don’t let them. All nerve injury claims is handled on a contingency fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—future medical needs may not be apparent immediately. Call McKay Law now for a complimentary evaluation with a Blanchard, OK nerve injury attorney who will fight for the full recovery you deserve.
Nerve damage is among the most disabling injuries in personal injury law. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, and damage to them can cause chronic pain, paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function. Unlike many types of injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Many nerve injuries result in lifetime disability. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims in Blanchard and in surrounding communities.
The nervous system is divided into two main systems:
Nerve damage can occur multiple ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)/RSD is one of the worst nerve conditions that follows trauma. CRPS symptoms include:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
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 discovery rule may extend deadlines in some cases.
We work with treating physicians, neurologists, and pain specialists to establish the lasting impact, get nerve conduction studies and electromyography, push back against pre-existing condition arguments, include future medical needs and permanent impairment, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, coordinate with mental health providers for pain-related psychological damage, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
A: Significant. Permanent nerve damage produces substantial case values.
A: Nothing upfront. No fee unless we recover.
A: Major damages. CRPS produces substantial damages.
A: Definitely. Worsening nerve damage from past trauma supports claims.
A: Yes, possibly. Workers’ compensation covers workplace nerve damage; third-party claims may apply.
A: That’s a common insurance ploy. Objective medical evidence establishes nerve damage.
A: Never. 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 cases face a fundamental measurement problem. Nerve symptoms aren’t visible on imaging. Subjective symptoms dominate. Weakness varies in ways that defy easy quantification. These cases face proof challenges that don’t apply to objectively visible injuries. A Blanchard nerve damage attorney knows how to overcome the proof challenges.
Symptoms can’t be objectively verified easily. Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations are reported by the patient.
Without clear imaging findings, insurers challenge symptom reports.
Standard imaging like X-rays and MRIs don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Nerve-specific testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. But specialized testing isn’t always done.
Nerve damage may not be immediately apparent.
This generates “when did this start?” disputes.
After nerve damage, repair is often limited.
Nerves regenerate slowly when they regenerate at all.
Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord represents most nerve damage cases.
The brachial plexus is the network of nerves controlling the arm is vulnerable to trauma.
Brachial plexus injuries can range from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Carpal tunnel syndrome develops from various causes.
Ulnar nerve compression.
Tibial nerve compression at the ankle.
Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve commonly results from spinal injuries.
Spinal nerve damage commonly involves spinal injuries.
Radiculopathy creates radiating symptoms.
Cranial nerve injury can occur with head trauma.
Specific cranial nerve injuries include:
Autonomic damage. Autonomic damage can affect bladder and bowel function.

Nerves are the wiring that tie every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is severed 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 agonizing: burning pain that refuses to 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 follow 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 document the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers tend to minimize nerve injury claims because the damage is invisible on 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 join the McKay Law family, we won’t allow those tactics. We fight for 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 income, 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 relentless pain and suffering that accompanies a nerve injury. Contact us without waiting at (866) 679-9651 or contact us online to book your free consultation and bring a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do in your corner.
