What These Results Reflect
Results at this level come from a specific approach to how cases are built. Every case Childers & McCain accepts is prepared for trial from day one — all liable parties identified, all available evidence preserved, and damages quantified to reflect what the client actually needs, not what the insurer's initial offer reflects.
Christy is nationally recognized for her work on damages strategy and has spoken and published on the subject for trial lawyers across the country. That framework is applied to every case the firm handles — from the largest trucking verdict to the premises liability claim where a property owner's negligence changed someone's life. The range of results above reflects a practice that takes every serious case seriously.
The $16,860,000 traumatic brain injury trucking result was achieved through a co-counsel arrangement — one example of how Childers & McCain works alongside other trial attorneys to pursue outcomes that complex cases require.
