What’s the Average Settlement For Nerve Damage in Oklahoma?

Nerve damage is a common result from a lot of accidents in Oklahoma, and it’s not surprising that it’s so difficult to deal with. According to the Mayo Clinic, nerve damage usually ranges from muscle weakness to trouble breathing and heart issues.

Legally, though, you still have the option to file an injury claim if your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence. At that point, you can either get a settlement offer from an insurance company or a verdict in a trial. To that end, our team has extensive experience with getting results for our clients. On average, we’ve helped clients recover:

  • Upwards of $1 million in settlements for nerve damage.

Every situation is different, but this at least gives you a ballpark figure in what you can expect if you file an injury claim for nerve damage. At that point, though, you need to look at what makes up your settlement figure.

What Makes Up Your Settlement Figure in an Injury Claim?

If you’ve suffered a nerve damage injury, working with our team can help you get the most out of your settlement. We’ll guide you through the claims process, which again happens by you filing an insurance claim or lawsuit.

When you make a claim, you’re asking for financial support for your losses, also called “damages.” These damages depend on the specifics of your nerve damage and other injuries, but typically involves things like:

  • Medical expenses – This covers doctor visits, tests, surgery, medications, therapy, and ongoing care for nerve damage.
  • Lost income – This covers the income you missed out on while recovering. If your injury affects your ability to work long-term, you may recover future earnings too.
  • Pain and suffering – This provides financial support for the physical pain and discomfort caused by nerve damage.
  • Emotional distress – Similarly, this covers mental health impacts, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, related to the injury.
  • Reduced quality of life – This covers costs relating to how the injury limits your ability to enjoy life or strains your personal relationships.

 

In Oklahoma, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for nerve damage injuries. If you miss this deadline, you lose your chance to recover damages, no matter how serious your injury is. Our team will make sure you stay on track and get the settlement you need to move forward.

How Can You Strengthen Your Nerve Damage Claim?

Nerve damage injuries can happen in almost any type of accident, and recovering from them can be challenging because everybody responds differently–and it can be hard to even gauge the totality of your injuries. If you’re facing this situation, here’s how you can protect your rights and strengthen your claim:

  • Call 911 – Your health comes first. Paramedics can treat your injuries, and the police will create an accident report–key for your insurance and legal purposes.
  • Get medical care – Even if you feel fine, see a doctor right away. Nerve injuries probably won’t show symptoms immediately but can worsen over time. Medical records will serve as critical evidence for your claim.
  • Report the accident – If the accident happened on someone else’s property, inform them of what occurred. They may provide first aid and help document the situation.
  • Get important information – Get names, phone numbers, addresses, and insurance details from everyone involved in the accident.
  • Document the scene – Take photos or videos of the accident area, focusing on anything that shows how the injury happened, such as hazards or damages.
  • Preserve evidence – Keep damaged personal items or your vehicle, as they may help prove your case.
  • Stick to your treatment plan – Record all appointments, treatments, and costs. Track how the injury affects your daily life, work, and hobbies.

These steps not only protect your health but also strengthen your case, making it easier for you to get a fair result for your injuries. While you focus on healing, we’ll take care of the legal process.
