Notable Washington Injury Case

One case handled by Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner involved a young woman named Hailey, who suffered catastrophic injuries in a high-speed head-on collision caused by a repeat drunk driver in Whatcom County.
The firm pursued claims not only against the impaired driver, but also against the Washington State Patrol and the Whatcom County District Court Probation Department after evidence showed that failures by both agencies contributed to the circumstances leading up to the crash.
