“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Peripheral nerve injuries can cause permanent disability, chronic pain, and loss of function in Purcell, OK. When someone else’s negligence causes nerve damage, you deserve full compensation. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. Nerves are responsible for every signal your body sends and receives—when nerves are damaged, the consequences can affect every aspect of life. Types of nerve injuries we handle include nerve compression injuries, severed nerves, nerve root damage, and chronic nerve pain conditions. Nerve damage typically causes sensory disturbances, motor weakness, chronic pain conditions, and loss of function. 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) involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—that can spread throughout the body. Medical treatment can be complex, expensive, and sometimes ineffective—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. Even after intervention, some patients face lifelong limitations—with consequences extending decades into the future. Our Purcell nerve damage injury attorneys know 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 prove the lasting impact of nerve damage. Imaging and nerve studies provide essential proof—documenting the physical reality of your injury. 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. Nerve injuries often end careers in physical occupations—requiring lifetime income loss calculations. Insurers frequently challenge claims involving subjective symptoms—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 contingency fee basis—no fees unless we recover. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—the true value of your case may not be clear for many months. Call McKay Law now for a no-cost case review with a Purcell, OK personal injury attorney who will stand up to the insurance companies on your behalf.
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 most injuries, nerve injuries are often permanent. Many nerve injuries result in lifetime disability. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims in Purcell and throughout Oklahoma.
The nervous system has two parts:
Nerves can be damaged in several ways:
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a devastating chronic pain condition that can develop after injury. CRPS produces:
CRPS damages are typically substantial.
Oklahoma generally gives 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 build a complete medical record, get nerve conduction studies and electromyography, defeat “prior injury” defenses, value the case for both current losses and lifetime impact, build evidence of pain and CRPS, partner with mental health specialists, and prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
A: Substantial. Permanent nerve damage produces substantial case values.
A: Nothing upfront. No fee unless we recover.
A: Major damages. CRPS produces substantial damages.
A: Yes. Worsening nerve damage from past trauma supports claims.
A: You may have a claim. Workers’ compensation covers workplace nerve damage; third-party claims may apply.
A: Don’t accept that. Objective medical evidence establishes nerve damage.
A: No. 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: Sometimes. Case valuation must include possible future surgery.
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. This creates significant proof challenges for an injury category that can be devastating. An attorney familiar with these complex cases knows how to overcome the proof challenges.
Symptoms can’t be objectively verified easily. Common nerve symptoms come from the patient.
Without objective findings, carriers question the symptoms.
Common imaging studies may not show nerve injury.
Advanced nerve testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. Not every case includes specialized testing.
Nerve damage symptoms can develop gradually.
This creates “when did this start?” disputes.
Following nerve injury, repair is often limited.
Nerve healing is slow and limited.
Peripheral neuropathy is the typical nerve injury type.
Brachial plexus may be damaged by trauma.
These injuries vary from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist may follow injury.
Cubital tunnel syndrome.
Compression of the tibial nerve at the ankle.
Sciatic nerve involvement often connects to lumbar spine injuries.
Spinal nerve damage often results from spinal injuries.
Radiculopathy produces radicular symptoms.
Damage to cranial nerves can occur with head trauma.
Common cranial nerve damage involves:
Autonomic damage. Autonomic nerve damage impacts sexual function.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is among the most challenging pain conditions.
This condition follows injury and produces:
CRPS is among the most painful conditions documented.
Motor vehicle crashes commonly cause nerve damage.
Workplace incidents generate nerve cases.
Slip-and-falls can cause nerve damage.
Surgical complications causes some of the most challenging nerve cases.
Healthcare-related nerve damage involves:

Specialty expert witnesses provides expert opinion.
Documentation of how the nerve damage affects daily activities and work matters significantly.
Documentation of pain levels, symptoms, and limitations over time provide compelling evidence.
Mental health consequences are common. Treatment records support the comprehensive damages case.

Many patients can’t return to their pre-injury careers, especially physical work.
Living with nerve damage generates major quality of life damages.
Symptom exaggeration challenges.
Counter requires specialized testing showing objective findings.
Pre-existing condition defenses. Pre-existing conditions don’t bar recovery.
Defense argues alternative causes.
“You don’t need all this treatment”.
Healing-based defenses.
Plaintiff fault arguments.
Specialty neurological evaluation protects the claim.

Neurological testing establishes objective findings.
Long-term care projections take time to develop.

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 profoundly disruptive. 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 crushing: 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 take on nerve damage cases by working alongside neurologists, pain management specialists, electromyography experts, and occupational therapists who can capture the precise nerves involved, the extent of the damage, and what daily life now looks like for our client.
Insurance carriers often try to reduce 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 partner with the McKay Law family, we won’t allow those tactics. We demand 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, diminished earning ability for clients whose careers depend on fine motor control or physical capability, the loss of activities and independence your condition has robbed, and the relentless pain and suffering that follows a nerve injury. Phone us without waiting at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to book your free consultation and get a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do in your corner.
