“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve damage range from temporary numbness to life-altering paralysis in Owasso, 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. Nerves are responsible for every signal your body sends and receives—when nerves are injured, the resulting dysfunction can be permanent. Common types of nerve damage include nerve compression injuries, severed nerves, nerve root damage, and chronic nerve pain conditions. Symptoms of nerve damage 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. Common causes of nerve damage vehicle wrecks, premises liability incidents, and any accident that damages the nerves directly or through related injuries. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a particularly devastating nerve condition—that can spread throughout the body. Medical treatment may include surgical and non-surgical approaches—with options ranging from medications to complex reconstructive surgery. Even with the best medical care, many nerve injuries result in permanent damage—with consequences extending decades into the future. Our Owasso nerve damage injury attorneys recognize the full impact of nerve injuries—not just current medical costs but lifetime consequences. We consult with nerve specialists and rehabilitation professionals to demonstrate the lifetime cost of treatment. Diagnostic testing is critical—providing objective evidence insurance companies can’t easily dismiss. We pursue full compensation including emergency care, long-term medical needs, lost earnings, and full compensation for chronic pain and disability. 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 counter with objective testing, expert testimony, and detailed medical documentation. Every nerve damage injury case is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win. 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 free consultation with a Owasso, OK personal injury attorney who will fight for the full recovery you deserve.
Nerve damage produces some of the most devastating long-term consequences. Nerves control movement, sensation, and bodily functions, so damage to them causes major impairment. Unlike many other injuries, nerve damage frequently doesn’t heal completely. Permanent nerve damage is common. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Owasso and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system is divided into two main systems:
Nerve damage can occur multiple ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)/RSD is a particularly devastating nerve condition that can develop after injury. Symptoms include:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
The deadline in Oklahoma is two years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Some nerve damage develops over time, so Oklahoma’s discovery rule may apply in some cases.
We coordinate with the medical team to build a complete medical record, secure objective testing, defeat “prior injury” defenses, account for the lasting damage, build evidence of pain and CRPS, work with mental health professionals, and treat each matter as trial-ready.

Nerve injuries are uniquely difficult to prove. Nerve symptoms aren’t visible on imaging. Numbness can’t be measured with a scan. 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 Owasso nerve damage attorney understands the distinctive evidence framework these cases require.
Nerve symptoms are typically subjective. Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations are reported by the patient.
Without clear imaging findings, insurance companies dispute these symptoms.
Standard imaging like X-rays and MRIs don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Advanced nerve testing can document nerve damage. But specialized testing isn’t always done.
Symptoms often emerge over time.
This generates temporal causation challenges.
Following nerve injury, return to baseline is rare.
Nerve healing is slow and limited.
Peripheral neuropathy is the typical nerve injury type.
Arm nerve network can be injured by significant trauma.
These injuries vary from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist may follow injury.

Nerves are the electrical system that tie every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is damaged in an accident, the consequences are far from 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 burden 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 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 not visible in 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 become part of the McKay Law family, we push back against those tactics. We fight for 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, lost earning capacity 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 accompanies a nerve injury. Reach us without waiting at (866) 679-9651 or reach out online to set up your free consultation and bring a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do fighting for you.
