During a trial, you never know what a juror is thinking!

Jurors are very unpredictable! We know that, there are three kinds of jurors, but during a trial, anyone can change. Specially, if the subject of the trial is controversial, complicated or boring. We saw that this past week in Federal Court, and thus this post.

We believe in the system that we have in America, but, can a juror get it wrong? When both sides have strong arguments, credible witnesses and a lot of facts to back up their story, what do jurors focus on? It would be interesting to know, as a litigator, what those jurors are thinking during your argument, or during your questioning of a particular witness.

What if one side has so much money that, the other side looks ill prepared. What if one side can bring experts, videos and gadgets and the other side can't? Is that equal? What if one side is backed up by an insurance company, and the other one is not?

Our jurisprudence system was created with justice and equality for all. Our founding fathers envisioned a system where, a jury of your peers, would be the judges of the facts. But what if they get it wrong? What if the jurors are confused. What if the jurors fall asleep and the most likable party gets their vote. What if the jurors are so tired, that they just want to leave?

It is an honor to work in a system that is fair and impartial for all. But, is it equal? We believe that, the more green you have, the easier it becomes to get justice for your client. Maybe the more green its spent to prepare for a trial, the better outcome will be for your client. Is that equal? It is fair! And, it is impartial....never equal!

If you are in need of a litigating firm, give us a call (210) 979-9777. Our San Antonio Lawyers will prepare and fight for your rights in court. Our San Antonio law firm is here to help you with your legal needs!

Sample Brief on Motions For New Trial

BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL AND REQUEST OF FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW FOR PREVIOUS DEFAULT JUDGMENT

TO THE HONORABLE PRESIDING JUDGE:

NOW COMES PERSON FILING BRIEF, hereinafter called Movant, and files this Brief in Support of her Motion For A New Trial and Requests for Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law for the Previous Default Judgment, and in support hereof, shows the Court the following:

I.

Movant would show unto the court that the evidence presented to the Court by Intervenor to obtain the Default Judgment (Order in Plea in Intervention) against the Movant was legally insufficient to support a Default Judgment. More specifically, the Court found a breach on a contract and issued an Order Against Movant, (See Exhibit A), but nothing on the pleadings, contracts or anywhere indicates, and no evidence was presented to the Court that would substantiate a breach by Movant of said contract (See Exhibit B).

The Intervenor failed to present any evidence as to any duty by Movant or any liquidated damages suffered by Intervenor. Moreover, the initial judgment, and any judgement thereafter were obtained against PERSON WHO'S JUDGEMENT IS AGAINST, not against Movant. Finally, the contract between Movant and Intervenor specifically requires Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration (Exhibit C), at the request of either party, which was not done in this case prior to obtaining the Default Judgment against Movant. Movant was not properly served with Notice of Default Judgement against her.

II.

Movant incorporates into her Motion For A New Trial Orders for all purposes and the following exhibits, statutory law and case law:

(1) Exhibit A - Order on Plea in Intervention
(2) Exhibit B - Plea in Intervention
(3) Exhibit C- Contract between Movant and Intervenor
(4) Exhibit D- Letters from Movant's former counsel requesting Intervenor=s accounting or performance under the contract
(5) Foley v. Daniel, 346 S.W.3d 687 (Tex. App.--El Paso 2009, no pet.)
(6) Mason v. Mason, 256 S.W.3d 716, 717 (Tex. App.--Hous. [14th Dist.] 2008, no pet.)
  (7) Coastal Banc SSB v. Helle, 48 S.W.3d 796 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi 2001, pet. denied).
(8) Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. ' 171.001.
(9) Tex. Fam.Code Ann. '' 6.601, 153.0071 (Vernon 2005 & Supp.2007) III.

On DATE, Movant and Intervenor entered into a contract for legal representation for collection of child support, inter alias. There was a proviso within the contract that required in the pertinent parts Aat any parties request, any and all disputes arising out of this contract...all parties hereby agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. Movant had, in multiple times requested a resolution of the problems by arbitration, but it has not been done.

On DATE, Intervenor filed his Plea in Intevention. Nothing was done on the case for over three years. Almost three years later, Intervenor sets the an Amended Plea in Intervention, Amended Notice of hearing but failed to served on the Movant the Amended Pleading. Movant requested time and time again from Intervenor, to show performance under the contract, but Intervenor has failed to prove any. Movan was given multiple excuses, including that a former assistant has quit and that the billing person had dies of cancer; nevertheless, Intervenor has never shown performance under the contract.

 On DATE, Intervenor Defaulted Movant and obtained a judgment against her knowledge. No evidence was presented to the court as to any of the elements of any alleged breach of contract. The Intervenor obtained judgements against Movant for liquidated damages that were never proven in Court. Movant has multiple Rule 94 Affirmative Defenses of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, including but not limited to laches, statute of limitations, failure to perform, estoppel, and many others on the case that she was prevented from submitting to the Court by not been properly noticed.

 IV.

The elements of a claim for Abreach of contract are:

(1) the existence of a valid contract;
(2) performance or tendered performance by the plaintiff;
 (3) breach of the contract by the defendant; and
 (4) damages to the plaintiff resulting from that breach. Foley v. Daniel, 346 S.W.3d 687 (Tex. App.--El Paso 2009, no pet.) Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. ' 171.001.

Intervenor has not presented sufficient evidence to support his performance under the contract, that a breach occurred on the contract, or any damages arising therefrom. Texas strongly encourages alternative dispute resolution, particularly in family law matters. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. ' 154.002 (Vernon 2005).

The Family Code expressly permits binding arbitration in divorce and SAPCR cases. See Tex. Fam.Code Ann. '' 6.601, 153.0071 (Vernon 2005 & Supp.2007). Mason v. Mason, 256 S.W.3d 716, 717 (Tex. App.--Hous. [14th Dist.] 2008, no pet.) These Intervention should had been handle by Binding Arbitration as requested by Movant and not by litigation as obtained by Intervenor. When a trial court fails to comply with the rules of notice, a party is deprived of his constitutional right to be present at the hearing, to voice his objections in an appropriate manner, and results in a violation of fundamental due process. Coastal Banc SSB v. Helle, 48 S.W.3d 796 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi 2001, pet. denied).

A default judgment cannot be sustained where no notice of the default judgment hearing was given to a defendant who has appeared. Id. V. Movant was prevented from presenting her Affirmative Defenses and or case in front of an Arbitrator as required by the contract at issue. Movant was not properly served with a Notice of Default Judgment as required by law, since she made a general appearance in the case prior to the default. Intervenor presented no evidence to substantiate a judgment against Movant. There was not evidence to support breach, performance or damages.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED Movant prays that the Court grant the New Trial; in the alternative, that the Court require the parties to arbitrate the case; In the event that the New Trial is not granted, the Court to issue findings of facts and conclusions of law as to the Default Judgment and Order on Plea in Intervention; and that Movant have such other and further relief at law or in equity to which Movant may be justly entitled. Respectfully submitted.

How to obtain a judgment on the Pleadings in Federal Court

Our Law Firm has been representing victims of police violence in Federal Court with great success. Many times, our lawyers obtain judgments on the pleadings before going to a trial.

Our San Antonio Lawyers are here to help the victims of police brutality, specially when the victim is dead. Bellow is an example of pleading filed in Federal Court to help practitioners obtain a judgment on the pleadings pursuant the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

NOW COME Plaintiffs, Movants herein, and request the Court to enter Judgment on the Pleadings in favor of Movants on the claims set forth herein, and against Defendants (hereinafter Non-Movants), and in support thereof, show the Court the following:

After the pleadings are closed but within such time as not to delay the trial, any party my move for judgment on the pleadings. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(c).The standard for deciding a Rule 12(c) motion is the same as a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss.

The court "accepts all well-pleaded facts as true, viewing them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff." In re Katrina Canal Breaches Litig., 495 F.3d 191, 205 (5th Cir. 2007), petition for cert. filed, (U.S. Nov. 26, 2007) (No. 07-713).

The plaintiff must plead "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, - U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1974 (2007).

"Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level, on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact). Id. at 1965.

Averments in a pleading which a responsive pleasing is required, other than those as to the amount of damage, are admitted when not denied in the responsive pleading. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(d).

When the facts of the case are such that a judgment on the pleadings can be obtain, practitioners need to be aware of them.

If you, or someone you know has been a victim of police brutality, give us a call at (210) 979-9777. We care about your legal needs!

Do you have to tell your insurance company?

In Texas, insurance companies have ways to get out of having to pay for the accident caused by their insured. This is so because, the insured has an affirmative duty to inform "or give notice" to the insurance company about potential exposure to liability.

For example, we represented an injured person and won at the trial. The insurance company filed an appeal, we won that too, yet, the insurance gets another bite at the apple when now, they are claiming that, the insured never gave them "notice." I guess they forgot that they filed the appeal.

This is just an example of how insurance companies used their power (money) to get out of paying for their responsibilities. This is why they are rich, and we are not! If you have a problem with your insurance company, give us a call (210) 979-9777 or visit our websites: http://www.thebaezlawfirm.com or http://www.san-antonio-lawyer-attorney.com

We have helped victims of police brutality in Texas successfully. If you have been a victim of police brutality in Texas, you need a law firm that is able to handle the police "qualify immunity" issues that could end your case. Let us fight for your rights in court.

Had a police brutality case, come see us!

As a citizen of the United States, you have constitutionally given rights that protect you. Texans are not an exception. When police uses excessive force "police brutality" you need a law firm that knows how to handle the case.

Regretably, the law in Texas protects police officers. In Texas, there is a force continuum that allows the cops to always be in a position superior to any other. The reason is simple, but the results are catastrophic. Because this false sense of security for the cops, some cops missuses that power, and that is when your rights can be violated.

If you suspect that your civil rights have been violated, give us a call (210) 979-9777. We handle federal cases all throughout Texas.

Helping you with your injury

Many times, prospective clients indicate to us that they need help with their personal injury cases. Often times the problems is that people think that they can handle their own legal problems, simply because they have seen it on television. The fact of the matter is, they cannot.

Lawyers go through intensive training and develop skills with time that the lay person cannot posses by watching television. If you think about it, insurance companies have top lawyers representing them. With that in mind, you should too.

We received a call today that the person wanted help. They wanted us to answer one question because the statute of limitations was tomorrow, so they needed advise. They mentioned numerous legal terms that were irrelevant to what they wanted to accomplish. We told them they did not need advise, they needed a miracle.

Our San Antonio law firm handles injury cases against negligent people. We often fight insurance companies to negotiate settlements on behalf of our clients. In every situation, the insurance companies tries to negotiate a case in order to minimize their exposure. Since we know that, we are able to use that tool for our client's advantage.

We also handle cases against police departments that have deviated from their principle duty to serve and protect. Although police forces enjoy what is called "qualify immunity," many times they have exceeded their authority which violates people's constitutional rights, and that is when we come in.

Please, if you have been injured in San Antonio, you need a lawyer that can handle your case. Do not do it alone. We offer free initial consultations in order to evaluate a case and give our clients the best possible answer.

Insurance companies do not want you to contact us because we obtain settlements for our clients far greater than what they want to pay. In fact, they will contact you before you can contact us, in order to minimize their exposure. That is a common practice in the insurance industry, and one that does not help you, the injured party.

Do not trust the insurance companies when they tell you: "you are in good hands, we are always there, been local counts..." and many more slogans created by them. The fact is simple, they are there to make money, not to take care of you.

Medical Malpractice law in Texas

The law has changed in Texas, sometimes to the detriment of the victims of malpractice. This is true in the area of wrongful death. Years ago, a victims family could file a wrongful death or survivor actions for the wrongful actions of a doctor that negligently procured the death of the loved one. Now a days, that is no longer the case.

Texas law changed with proposition number 12, which created section 74 of the civil practice and remedies code. This is a very broad law that pretty much swallows a wrongful death action against any doctor or medical treatment facility for that matter. The law created the infamous "caps" on non-economical damages.

The proponents of the law, falsely accused trial attorneys of filing numerous frivolous law suits which allegedly increased the premiums on doctors, making it impossible for them to practice medicine. With that lie, the public voted for proposition number 12 and the results have been catastrophic.

A victim of a doctor's negligence is only allowed a recovery of $250,000 no matter what the injury was. In other words, lets supposed that you were a prominent entrepreneur, making millions every year, and you had a stomach pain. You go to the doctor and the doctor negligently takes your kidney out, but you only had indigestion. Now you have to be on dialysis for the rest of your life, your sex life is gone and your wife left you. Now you are broke, can't work and are placed on disability by the social security. Your maximum amount of recovery against the doctor is $250,000. And you are expected to live the rest of your life with that.

Let's supposed that you are an avid dancer that loves to take your wife dancing every weekend. You have back pain, and decide to go to the doctor for pain management. A neurosurgeon tells you that you have pinched nerves, but tells you that he can help you with a simple surgery. You decide to go through with the surgery, but the doctor severs a nerve in your spine that leaves you with drop foot. Now, you cannot dance and you are in constant pain. You have to wear a boot for the rest of your life and of course, no more dancing for you or your wife. The doctor gets to continue to make the same mistake to other victims, and your life, as you knew it is over. But wait, you may get $250,000 form the insurance, assuming that you find an attorney that will take your case.

Medical Malpractice law in Texas has become an obstacle for the people who really needs it the most, the injured victims. Because of false information, victims are now facing the harsh reality that, they will never be compensated for he wrongful actions of irresponsible doctors. And by the way, doctors came to Texas by the thousands when the law changed.

We have been helping injured Texans fight for their rights. Let our experts handle your case and take it to a successful recovery for you. We will continue to fight for your rights, and we will continue to try to change the law as we know it for the better of the victims.

Homes evacuated in San Antonio

AP News- Thank God that no one was injured, or so the reports say, but what a nightmare. Construction crews, presumably from Centex Homes moved dirt to shore up a group of houses precariously perched on a crumbling hill in San Antonio on Monday as engineers tried to determine why the land below was shifting, causing dozens of homes to evacuate.

The City of San Antonio is saying that a wall that was supposed to retain the dirt in place to prevent what happened, was built without a permit. Gaping crevices, some 15 feet deep, cut across several yards as dirt cascaded into a towering stone retaining wall that nearly split in half.

Home buyers are wondering now whether the premiums payed for the supposed "view" were worth the trouble that now they face. Some lot owners payed $10,000 additionally for the upgrade that now it does not seem like an upgrade at all.

The Baez Law Firm will be representing home owners against the building companies in an effort to bring the buyers closure during this nightmare. If your house has been one affected, give us a call. Our San Antonio Law Firm can help you with your legal needs.

Why do you need damages?

Many people comes to our firm and ask, can we sue the negligent party for what they wrongfully done to us. In many cases, the answer is yes but upon further analysis of the cases, it becomes clear that the damages are missing. In order to recover under the theory of negligence, the law is clear, the fact that you have to have damages is as important as the fact that some one was negligent.

When there are no damages, unfortunately for many individuals, that means that there is no case at all. We have found this result with many medical malpractice cases and premises liability cases. Not so much so on the area of auto accidents. The reason is clear, if there is a car collision, there are some damages, both to the property and the person.

As an attorney, one has to look at the case, specially for negligence cases as one that can potentially reward the risk that the lawyers takes on taking the case. Since these cases are often taken on a contingency basis, the lawyers needs to insure that all elements are present before taking the case.

In a nut shell, for negligence to be actionable, there has to be 1) duty, 2) a breach therefrom, 3) actual cause, 4) proximate cause, and 5) damages. Miss one element, you miss the case. Although many cases the damages be nominal, generally, the greater the damage, the greater the recovery.

So, next time you hear the hype from highly commercialized lawyers, don't think that they are better at recovery, they just take the cases with the greatest rate of return form them and make it appears as though every case is going to win big.

If you have suffered or been injured by some one, give us a call (210) 979-9777 we will evaluate your case free and we will treat you with respect and dignity because, we care about your legal needs.

2) Please, take some time to cool off and think about what happened to cause the accident before you make any statements to others regarding what caused the accident or who was at fault.

3) Always take the other driver's name, address, phone number, driver's license number, license plate number, name of the registered owner of the car, state of license, and insurance information.

4) Immediately, inform your Insurance company - Make a thorough accident report to your insurance company without delay.

Are US vehicles still safe?

With so many bailouts by our government to auto manufactures, one cannot help but wonder, if the vehicles that are been produced are safe for the consumers in general. The government is bailing out the industry, but who would bail out the consumers?

According to the associated press, GM and Chrysler, which employ about 140,000 workers in the U.S., have to submit completed restructuring plans, but neither company is expected to finish its work. GM owes roughly $28 billion to bondholders. Chrysler owes about $7 billion in first- and second-term debt, mainly to banks. GM owes about $20 billion to its retiree health care trust, while Chrysler owes $10.6 billion.

With all of these crisis, who is monitoring the automakers products? How many lives are going to be at risk? Nevertheless, its a good thing that our law firm can help the families of those that have been damage, could be damaged, and will be damage by the poor quality of vehicles placed on the market by the automakers.

The Baez Law Firm, P.C. is committed to help those who have suffered from some one's negligence, either by manufacturing or simply by lack of safety standards implemented.

If you, or some one you love has suffered by the negligence of others, please contact our law firm today. Our attorneys are here to help you during this difficult times.

Insurance companies not paying?

If you are like me, that deals with insurance companies all the time, you will know that insurance companies are not paying on their liability like they used to. Why is that? Maybe the economy is affecting them just like any other area of the market.

Although policy holders ultimately are the ones that will pay the increase in premiums, insurance companies nevertheless are not paying on accidents as much and as fast as they used to. What used to take our law firm one month to settle it's taking over six months in today's economy.

Unfortunately, the people affected by the accidents are the ones who suffer, while the shareholders of the insurance companies are getting richer. That is our free enterprise system, the rich get richer and the injured gets caps on damages.

If you have been injured in an accident, please contact our law firm. We are trained on handling insurance companies to get you the maximum amount for your claim.

What not to do if you have a personal injury case

Misrepresenting Your Accident or Injuries.
Doctors document in their records how you describe the accident and your injuries. When your description varies from the way the accident happened to the way that injuries are described in the police report or other statements, the insurance company can use the descriptions to make you appear untruthful.

Hiding Past Accidents.
If you have been in other accidents, you need to say so, so that your lawyer can investigate and make a determination as to whether it is a valid problem in your case.

Hiding Previous Injuries.
If you have ever seen a doctor or other health care provider, then there is a record in existence that the insurance company will find, not that can find, but will find.

Not Having Accurate Income Information.
In many cases, a claimant will have lost income because of the accident. You will only be able to claim lost income if your income information is in good order.

Misrepresenting Your Activity Level.
If you claim that you cannot do certain things, but you are not been honest, you can jeopardize your claim. Personal injury lawsuits are serious business. Insurance companies are willing to spend a lot of money investigating claims.

If you have a personal injury case, please contact us, we can help. We are San Antonio Personal Injury Trial Lawyers and we are here to help you. That is why we say we care about your legal needs.
