Pioneering Female Attorney to Share Innovative Damages Model at Truck Accident Seminar

Christy Crowe Childers, recognized as one of the first women in the United States to achieve board certification in trucking accident law, is set to present her groundbreaking Damages House model at the upcoming 'Winning Truck Wreck Cases' seminar. This model, designed to simplify the understanding of intangible damages for judges, jurors, and clients, represents a significant advancement in legal strategy for truck accident cases.

The seminar, organized by David W. Craig and Scott A. Faultless and presented by the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, will take place on August 4, 2025. Childers' session, titled 'Big Rig + Big Damages = Big Rig Damages House', will explore how the Damages House model utilizes the metaphor of a house's rooms to help clients articulate and visualize their losses, making their testimonies more relatable and impactful.

Beyond her contributions to legal strategy, Childers is also a co-founder of the Sisterhood of the 8, a non-profit aimed at supporting women in the trucking and transportation industry and female trial lawyers. The organization focuses on fostering connections, providing resources, and advocating for safer roads, alongside hosting events like the annual Mother Truckers Rally to promote legal education and professional growth among women in the field.

The 'Winning Truck Wreck Cases' seminar, now in its second year, continues to be a pivotal event for legal professionals specializing in truck accident law. With speakers like Childers, the seminar underscores the importance of innovative legal strategies and the growing influence of women in a traditionally male-dominated sector of the legal profession.
