“Labor Omnia Vincit” McKay Law
Nerve damage are among the most challenging injuries to treat in Skiatook, OK. When someone else’s negligence causes nerve damage, you may be entitled to substantial damages. McKay Law advocates for nerve damage injury victims throughout OK. The nervous system controls movement, sensation, and organ function—when nerve injuries occur, the impact extends far beyond the injury site. Common types of nerve damage include damage to motor nerves controlling movement, sensory nerves controlling feeling, and autonomic nerves controlling organ function. Common signs of nerve injuries sensory disturbances, motor weakness, chronic pain conditions, and loss of function. 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. CRPS involves severe, chronic, often disabling pain—that can spread throughout the body. Care for nerve injuries can be complex, expensive, and sometimes ineffective—and many patients require lifetime medical management. Despite excellent treatment, some patients face lifelong limitations—making accurate documentation and long-term cost projections essential. Our Skiatook nerve damage 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 demonstrate the lifetime cost of treatment. Objective medical evidence matters—including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), MRI imaging, and specialist evaluations. We recover all available damages including hospital costs, ongoing treatment, lifetime medications, lost income, suffering, and the lasting impact on your daily activities. Nerve injuries often end careers in physical occupations—making vocational evaluation essential. Insurance companies often try to minimize nerve damage claims—arguing the injury isn’t real because nerve damage is often invisible. We don’t let them. All nerve injury claims is handled on a contingency basis—zero upfront cost. Don’t settle before you know the full extent of your future needs—nerve damage often has consequences that emerge over time. Call McKay Law now for a no-cost case review with a Skiatook, OK nerve 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, and damage to them can cause chronic pain, paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function. Unlike most injuries, nerves often don’t fully heal. Many nerve injuries result in lifetime disability. Our firm fights for nerve damage injury victims in Skiatook and in surrounding communities.
The nervous system has two parts:
There are several ways nerves can be injured:
CRPS, also known as RSD is a particularly devastating nerve condition that develops after injury. CRPS 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 discovery rule may apply.
We coordinate with the medical team to establish the lasting impact, 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. Nerve symptoms aren’t visible on imaging. Subjective symptoms dominate. 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 Skiatook nerve damage attorney understands the distinctive evidence framework these cases require.
Symptoms can’t be objectively verified easily. Nerve damage manifestations are reported by the patient.
Without visible damage, carriers question the symptoms.
Standard imaging like X-rays and MRIs frequently miss nerve damage.
Specialized testing provides objective nerve damage evidence. Not every case includes specialized testing.
Nerve damage may not be immediately apparent.
This produces temporal causation challenges.
Following nerve injury, recovery is often incomplete.
Damaged nerves may not fully recover.
Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord represents most nerve damage cases.
Arm nerve network may be damaged by trauma.
These injuries vary from mild stretching to complete avulsion.
Carpal tunnel syndrome develops from various causes.
Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Sciatic nerve involvement frequently relates to spinal injuries.
Damage to nerve roots often results from spinal injuries.
Nerve root irritation creates radiating symptoms.
Brain-stem nerve damage can occur with head trauma.
Cranial nerve injuries include:
Autonomic damage. Autonomic nerve damage impacts heart rate.
Complex regional pain syndrome is among the most challenging pain conditions.
CRPS can develop after injuries and causes:
This condition produces severe pain.
Auto accidents commonly cause nerve damage.
Lifting injuries, falls at work, repetitive strain generate nerve cases.
Falls can cause nerve damage.
Medical procedures gone wrong drives many nerve injury cases.
Common medical malpractice nerve damage scenarios include:
Product-related nerve damage.
Repetitive stress injuries can cause cumulative nerve damage.
Comprehensive neurological assessment by a qualified neurologist or neurosurgeon.

Nerve conduction studies (NCS) test nerve signal transmission.
MRI imaging document underlying causes of nerve injury.
CT scans reveal structural issues.
Treating physicians support the case medically.
Independent expert testimony establishes causation.
Real-world impact documentation becomes critical.
Pain tracking build the damages narrative.

Nerves are the wiring 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 result 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 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 plague a victim for years. At McKay Law, we handle nerve damage cases by teaming up with 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 are quick to reduce nerve injury claims because the damage is hidden from 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 partner with the McKay Law family, we won’t allow those tactics. We fight for 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, time away from work, 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 profound pain and suffering that accompanies a nerve injury. Call us today at (866) 679-9651 or get in touch online to set up your free consultation and bring a firm that takes nerve damage as seriously as you do fighting for you.
