Biography
Christy Childers has been helping truck wreck victims and their families for over twenty years. She was the first woman in Georgia NBTA Board Certified in trucking. Although she specializes in trucking, Christy travels all over the country trying cases and consulting on cases in every type of personal injury case imaginable. Christy is known as the creator of Damages House, a new damages model that concretizes noneconomic damages. She and other lawyers across the country consistently get eight-figure results using her methods. Christy also organizes adventure CLEs for women trial lawyers, called the Mother Truckers Rally. They have driven tractor trailers, gone dog sledding, landed on glaciers in helicopters in Alaska, crushed cars with excavators in Vegas, drove monster trucks, blew up a car, shot flamethrowers, and most recently they free swam with bull sharks and tiger sharks. The adrenaline filled day is followed by an intense day of learning next level trial tips and strategies.
