“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Peripheral nerve injuries can cause permanent disability, chronic pain, and loss of function in Pryor Creek, OK. When wrongful conduct results in damage to your nervous system, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law fights for 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. Common types of nerve damage 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. Nerve damage is often caused by vehicle wrecks, premises liability incidents, and any accident that damages the nerves directly or through related injuries. CRPS involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—requiring specialized medical care and significant damages. Treatment for nerve damage 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 Pryor Creek personal injury attorneys recognize the full impact of nerve injuries—with attention to the often-invisible nature of nerve damage. We consult with nerve specialists and rehabilitation professionals to prove the lasting impact of nerve damage. Diagnostic testing is critical—including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), MRI imaging, and specialist evaluations. We fight for every dollar 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—making vocational evaluation essential. Insurance companies often try to minimize nerve damage claims—labeling pain “exaggerated” or symptoms “psychological”. We push back with hard evidence. Every nerve damage injury case is handled on a no-win, no-fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t sign anything without understanding the lifetime cost of your injury—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time. Call McKay Law now for a no-cost case review with a Pryor Creek, OK personal injury attorney who will pursue every dollar your case is worth.
Nerve damage produces some of the most devastating long-term consequences. Nerves control everything from movement to internal organ function, so injury can produce severe long-term consequences. Unlike many types of injuries, nerves often don’t fully heal. Permanent nerve damage is common. McKay Law represents nerve damage injury victims in Pryor Creek and across the state.
There are two parts to the nervous system:
Nerves can be damaged in several ways:
CRPS, also known as RSD is a particularly devastating nerve condition that can develop after injury. Symptoms include:
CRPS cases have major case value.
You typically have 2 years from the date of the incident to file (Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 95). Nerve damage can develop slowly, so Oklahoma’s discovery rule may apply in some cases.
We partner with medical specialists to build a complete medical record, get nerve conduction studies and electromyography, fight back against pre-existing condition claims, value the case for both current losses and lifetime impact, document chronic pain and CRPS where applicable, partner with mental health specialists, and treat each matter as trial-ready.

A: Nothing. No fee unless we recover.
A: Major damages. CRPS cases involve major medical bills, lifetime treatment, lost earning capacity, and significant pain and suffering damages.

Nerve injuries are uniquely difficult to prove. 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 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, carriers question the symptoms.
Standard diagnostic imaging don’t always reveal nerve damage.
Advanced nerve testing may demonstrate nerve damage. Not every case includes specialized testing.
Nerve damage symptoms can develop gradually.
This produces “when did this start?” disputes.
Once nerves are damaged, repair is often limited.
Nerve healing is slow and limited.
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common nerve damage category.
Brachial plexus can be injured by significant trauma.
Brachial plexus injuries can range from stretching to avulsion.
Median nerve compression may follow injury.
Cubital tunnel syndrome.
Tibial nerve compression at the ankle.
Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve frequently relates to spinal injuries.
Nerve root damage often results from spinal injuries.
Radiculopathy creates radiating symptoms.
Brain-stem nerve damage can occur with head trauma.
Specific cranial nerve injuries include:
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions. Autonomic damage can affect bladder and bowel function.
Complex regional pain syndrome is a particularly devastating chronic pain condition.
CRPS develops after injury and creates:
CRPS causes extreme pain.
Motor vehicle crashes commonly cause nerve damage.
Job-related nerve injuries can cause nerve damage.
Slip-and-falls generate nerve cases.

MRI scans may show nerve compression or related structural issues.
CT imaging document structural problems.
Treating doctors establish the medical foundation.
Specialty expert witnesses establishes causation.
Functional impact evidence drives the damages case.
Pain tracking provide compelling evidence.

Nerves are the wiring that link every part of your body to your brain — and when that wiring is stretched 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 debilitating: 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 haunt a victim for years. At McKay Law, we tackle nerve damage cases by partnering with 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 often try to downplay nerve injury claims because the damage is absent from 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 won’t allow 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, lost wages, loss of livelihood for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has destroyed, and the profound pain and suffering that accompanies a nerve injury. Phone us today 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 on your side.
