Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

I want to file a Motion for Directed Verdict in a Personal Injury case which occurred on 3/31/2010. My husband was injured a work and is now 100% disabled. His employer was not a subscriber to worker's comp. The company had a occupational/accidental policy. The Jury Charge was incorrect because when the Judge and attorneys prepared the Jury Charge the night before the case went to the Jury, it had % of blame, but the version presented to the court had both defendant's and my husband's name. Our lawyer objected to my husband's name being on the Charge but the Judge left it on there. These case went to the Jury with my husband's name as one being the cause. The jury came back with the words "NO" instead of the % of cause, and awarded my husband his future earnings, past and future medicals. They spent quite a while on the "money" part. They had asked questions regarding the monies. I read research that the Judge should have declared a mistrial but he didn't. Can I get this reversed or anything to get my husband his money?

Trust your lawyer who has evidently given you advice you do not like. I do not agree that a mistrial should have been granted.
