THE FERGUSON LAW FIRM FILES SUIT ON BEHALF OF PASSENGER CRITICALLY INJURED IN CATASTROPHIC JEFFERSON COUNTY CRASH INVOLVING TEAM INDUSTRIAL AND HOTARD COACHES

 

 

Cody A. Dishon, an ownership partner at The Ferguson Law Firm, has filed suit on behalf of Rodolfo Garay Jr., one of the passengers catastrophically injured in the horrific May 18, 2026, collision on State Highway 87 in Jefferson County, Texas. The major crash involved a TEAM INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC. commercial van and a HOTARD COACHES charter bus.

Following the collision, Mr. Garay was rushed to CHRISTUS Southeast Texas – St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, where he was admitted in critical condition. He suffered severe, life-threatening injuries and continues to undergo extensive medical treatment and a grueling recovery process.

“My client, Mr. Garay Jr., was merely a passenger in the van and bears absolutely no responsibility for this horrific collision,” said attorney Cody A. Dishon. “Commercial carriers operating on Texas roadways have a duty to prioritize public safety. When that duty is ignored, innocent lives are forever changed.”

The lawsuit aims to hold all responsible fully accountable for the devastating incident. Filing the suit also enables The Ferguson Law Firm to launch an immediate, independent investigation into the root cause of the tragedy, ensuring critical evidence is preserved.
“This case involves catastrophic injuries, death and, very serious questions that demand answers,” said Cody A. Dishon of The Ferguson Law Firm. “Our firm has the experience, resources, and courtroom record to handle complex litigation of this magnitude and take it through trial if necessary. We are fully prepared to do whatever it takes to fight for our client and uncover the truth about what happened.”
