Cases
Below are a sampling of cases McCandlish has handled to illustrate how the law can be used to champion civil justice and make our society a better place for all people to achieve their potential.
CASES
College Student Killed in Freeway Wreck.
On behalf of the grieving family, McCandlish drained the wrongdoer’s insurance policy, as well as the family’s back up insurance, proving that the college student was still living at home, even though residing in a university dorm. Additionally, he challenged the conclusion of the Oregon State police clearing a tow truck from having any responsibility. The insurer for the truck kicked in a six figure contribution to the settlement.
CASEs
Pedestrian Struck by Car.
After all available insurance was exhausted, a million dollars in medical bills were compromised and $250,000 paid by the driver’s husband personally.
CASES
