Christy has been helping truck wreck victims and their families for nearly 20 years. After graduating first in her law school class, she formed the personal injury law firm of Childers & McCain in Macon, Georgia. She is a former Education Chair for the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys and was the first woman in Georgia NBTA Board Certified in trucking. Christy is known as the creator of Damages House, a new damages model that concretizes non-economic damages.
Christy recently obtained an 8 figure result against a shipper in a trucking burn case and was part of the trial team that obtained an 8 figure verdict in a TBI trucking trial, where she presented the damages story at trial through lay witnesses. In addition to running her own law firm and practice, she leads the Trucking Case Roundtable for trial consultant Sari de la Motte, assisting lawyers with creating compelling content in their trucking cases using the H2H method. Christy also organizes adventure CLEs for women trial lawyers, called the Mother Truckers Rally. The 2022 rally was in Montana, where women trucking attorneys from all over the country drove tractor trailers, shared strategy, went fly fishing, and learned from vocal, acting, and career coaches.
In 2023, Christy took 32 people to Alaska, where she taught classes in a Yurt between dog sledding, landing on glaciers in helicopters, and driving tractor trailers at the Alaska Driving Academy. This past year the Mother Truckers crushed cars with excavators, drove monster trucks, blew up a car, shot flamethrowers and then had an intense day of learning from nationally renowned trial consultants in a Vegas Ice Bar and Speakeasy. Recently Christy, along with two other ladies, formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit for women trial lawyers and women in the trucking and transportation industry, so that more voices may be added to the mission of creating safer roads. She and her husband have two children, Laney (15) and John (12), and a Great Pyrenees named Maggie.
This workshop is going to make you money. You will learn how to easily concretize and monetize the abstract concept of pain and suffering for your client, yourself, and the jury. Christy Childers has created a revolutionary damages model. This workshop will change the way you organize, prepare, and try cases. After taking you through the foundation of the method, Christy Childers will teach you how to build your own Damages House house and furnish it. She will then teach you the 6 steps of a Damages House Opening. You will then practice and perfect it with her. She will also show you techniques for using the model to organize your case, on Direct and in Closing. By the end of this workshop you will be able to give a Damages House opening, a tool that has helped many lawyers across the nation get big verdicts with confidence.
Learn from the creator of this revolutionary damages model, which is helping jurors easily more easily assign hundreds of millions of dollars to pain and suffering.
