“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Peripheral nerve injuries range from temporary numbness to life-altering paralysis in Midway Village, OK. When wrongful conduct results in damage to your nervous system, the law gives you the right to pursue recovery. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. The nervous system controls movement, sensation, and organ function—when nerves are injured, the resulting dysfunction can be permanent. We represent clients with 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). 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. Nerve damage is often caused by auto crashes, falls, on-the-job incidents, medical malpractice, and traumatic impacts. CRPS deserves special legal attention—that can spread throughout the body. Treatment for nerve damage may include surgical and non-surgical approaches—and many patients require lifetime medical management. Even with the best medical care, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—requiring careful planning for ongoing care needs. Our Midway Village personal injury attorneys understand the full impact of nerve injuries—including how these injuries affect work, daily activities, and quality of life. We work with neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and life care planners to document the full extent of your injury. Objective medical evidence matters—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We recover all available damages including hospital costs, ongoing treatment, lifetime medications, lost income, suffering, and the lasting impact on your daily activities. These injuries frequently cause significant lost earning capacity—requiring lifetime income loss calculations. Adjusters may dispute the cause or severity of nerve injuries—arguing the injury isn’t real because nerve damage is often invisible. We don’t let them. Every nerve damage injury case is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—zero upfront cost. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—future medical needs may not be apparent immediately.

Nerve injuries are some of the most life-altering injuries. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, so damage to them causes major impairment. Unlike most injuries, nerves often don’t fully heal. Permanent nerve damage is common. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Midway Village and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system is divided into two main systems:
There are several ways nerves can be injured:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)/RSD is one of the worst nerve conditions that develops after injury. CRPS symptoms include:
CRPS cases involve substantial damages.
You typically have 2 years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Symptoms may develop 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, pursue EMG and nerve conduction studies, fight back against pre-existing condition claims, include future medical needs and permanent impairment, build evidence of pain and CRPS, coordinate with mental health providers for pain-related psychological damage, and build each file for the courtroom.

Nerve injuries are uniquely difficult to prove. Nerve symptoms aren’t visible on imaging. The symptoms patients report are often more significant than the objective findings. Weakness varies in ways that defy easy quantification. These cases face proof challenges that don’t apply to objectively visible injuries. An attorney familiar with these complex cases understands the distinctive evidence framework these cases require.
Nerve symptoms are typically subjective. Common nerve symptoms are patient-reported.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Common imaging studies don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Advanced nerve testing can document nerve damage. Not every case includes specialized testing.
Symptoms often emerge over time.
This generates temporal causation challenges.
After nerve damage, recovery is often incomplete.
Damaged nerves may not fully recover.
Peripheral nerve injuries represents most nerve damage cases.
Brachial plexus can be injured by significant trauma.
Brachial plexus damage varies from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Median nerve compression can develop from trauma.

Nerves are the communication network that connect 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 agonizing: burning pain that never 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 handle nerve damage cases by consulting 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 love to minimize 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 won’t allow those tactics. We demand the highest possible 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 taken, and the crushing pain and suffering that comes with a nerve injury. Contact us without waiting at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to schedule your free consultation and place a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do on your side.
