“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve injuries range from temporary numbness to life-altering paralysis in Del City, OK. When an accident leaves you with nerve injuries, the law gives you the right to pursue recovery. McKay Law represents 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. 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. These injuries typically result from car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck wrecks, slip-and-falls, workplace accidents, surgical errors, defective products, sports collisions, and crush injuries. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—that can spread throughout the body. Care for nerve injuries 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—requiring careful planning for ongoing care needs. Our Del City nerve injury lawyers know the full impact of nerve injuries—not just current medical costs but lifetime consequences. We work with neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and life care planners to document the full extent of your injury. Diagnostic testing is critical—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We fight for every dollar 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. These injuries frequently cause significant lost earning capacity—requiring lifetime income loss calculations. Insurance companies often try to minimize nerve damage claims—labeling pain “exaggerated” or symptoms “psychological”. We don’t let them. All nerve injury claims is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time.

Nerve injuries are some of the most life-altering injuries. Nerves control movement, sensation, and bodily functions, and damage to them can cause chronic pain, paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function. Unlike most injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Permanent nerve damage is common. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims in Del City and in surrounding communities.
The nervous system has two parts:
There are several ways nerves can be injured:

CRPS cases involve substantial damages.
The deadline in Oklahoma is two years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Nerve damage can develop slowly, so discovery rule may apply.
We work with treating physicians, neurologists, and pain specialists to build a complete medical record, pursue EMG and nerve conduction studies, fight back against pre-existing condition claims, account for the lasting damage, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, coordinate with mental health providers for pain-related psychological damage, and treat each matter as trial-ready.

Nerve damage cases face a fundamental measurement problem. Pain doesn’t show up on x-rays. The symptoms patients report are often more significant than the objective findings. Weakness varies in ways that defy easy quantification. This makes building these cases distinctively challenging despite their potential severity. A local attorney experienced with nerve injury claims knows how to overcome the proof challenges.
Symptoms can’t be objectively verified easily. Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations come from the patient.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Common imaging studies frequently miss nerve damage.
Advanced nerve testing can document nerve damage. But specialized testing isn’t always done.
Nerve damage may not be immediately apparent.
This produces causation questions.
Once nerves are damaged, repair is often limited.
Damaged nerves may not fully recover.
Peripheral neuropathy is the typical nerve injury type.
Brachial plexus can be injured by significant trauma.
Brachial plexus injuries can range from temporary issues to permanent damage.

Nerves are the communication network that tie every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is severed in an accident, the consequences are anything but minor. 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 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 haunt a victim for years. At McKay Law, we manage nerve damage cases by working alongside neurologists, pain management specialists, electromyography experts, and occupational therapists who can establish the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers love 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 demonstrate the harm in ways adjusters can’t talk their way out of. When you come into 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, missed paychecks, reduced future income for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has robbed, and the profound pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Contact us right away at (866) 679-9651 or connect with us online to arrange your free consultation and get a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do behind you.
