BEAUMONT, Texas - June 31, 2025 - The Ferguson Law Firm, LLP today announced that equity partner Cody A. Dishon has been named to TopVerdict.com’s annual list for obtaining the largest medical malpractice jury verdict in Texas for 2024 and one of the top verdicts nationwide.

 

The eight-figure victory followed a two-week trial featuring testimony from 23 expert and fact witnesses. Although the hospital denied any responsibility during the proceedings, the jury disagreed and found the hospital 90 percent at fault. The jury returned a verdict of approximately $14.6 million in economic damages to cover the client’s lifetime medical care and loss of earning capacity.  In addition, the jury awarded $16 million for pain and suffering, $16.6 million for mental anguish, and $12.5 million for physical impairment.

 

“This verdict is about accountability and restoring dignity to someone whose life was permanently altered by medical negligence. It sends a clear message that patient safety must be a top priority,” said Cody Dishon, lead trial counsel. “We’re honored by Top Verdict’s recognition of the result and the justice it represents.”

 

“Cody is relentless, and this verdict reflects that. We’ve nurtured a trial-ready culture at our firm and we’re proud of verdicts like these. This honor validates our mission to secure life-changing results for our client,” managing partner Paul “Chip” Ferguson said.
