The Role of Trial Attorneys
Trial attorneys are licensed practitioner by the law, employed either by a party to the case or by a country to prepare and present a case. They represent people who have been injured or violated in some way. They are also sometimes called tort or plaintiff lawyers.
A tort is an act of causing physical injury, for which the wrongdoer may be sued by the injured party. Legally, torts are civil cases. They are different from criminal cases. The person that initiates the lawsuit is the plaintiff, while the accused party is the defendant. They are the two primary subjects of the trial case.
A lawsuit is a civil action brought before a court in which the plaintiff seeks a legal remedy. If the plaintiff is successful, judgment will be given in the plaintiff's favor, and a range of court orders may be issued to enforce a right, award damages, or impose a sanction to prevent or force an act to the defendant.
Whether or not a person plans to pursue litigation, a litigation attorney will be able to determine what the best approach for the case is and can advice the client on how to take the next steps.
Before entering trial, lawyers will try to negotiate first with the other party until they decide to come to an agreement or not. This is called the settlement of cases. This occurs in civil and criminal cases. A settlement may come in the form of money, which satisfies both sides. If they do not decide on an agreement, the lawsuit shall push through.
The early stages of the trial involve the organized exchange of statements and evidences between the parties. This is meant to do away with surprises and clarify what the lawsuit is about. The case then proceeds to trial with each side presenting witnesses and submitting evidences. At the end of this, the judge or jury delivers their verdict.
Trial attorneys play an important part in lawsuits involving tort cases. Without them, your defense will be weak and you might not be able to win your case.
The roles or responsibilities of trial attorneys are:
o To give legal advice
o To provide legal representation for his/her client in court
o To arrange and draft the legal papers needed by the court for briefing regarding the issues on the case. These include drafting of complaints, pleadings, and appellate briefs.
o To argue a client's case before a judge or a jury of the court. It is his job to defend his client through oral arguments in the court
Trials involve a lot of pressure. Do not carry this pressure on your own. You can seek assistance from expert trial attorneys who are competent and dedicated.
A good trial lawyer can be a great help. An experienced and knowledgeable lawyer can give you an edge over your opponent and he could work to your advantage. If you get involved in any form of personal injury claims, hire the right tort trial attorney.

Under New Proposed Texas Legislation, Teenagers May Need Doctor's Note to Use Tanning Bed
The annual ritual of spring break is in full swing for high school and college students everywhere, including here in Texas. Beaches right here in our great state of Texas are a popular destination for young people looking for a week of fun away from parents and teachers. In preparation, tanning salons are filled with those who want to look like they already have spent weeks lounging by the water on the day they arrive. Some legislators in the Texas House want to make that popular bronzing effort more difficult for those who are under the age of eighteen.
Last Tuesday, the House Committee on Public Health approved a bill that would require a doctor's note and the presence of a parent for any client under the age of eighteen who shows up at a salon requesting the use of a tanning bed. The bill's sponsor, State Rep. Burt Solomons, has the intention of enacting the strictest laws concerning tanning regulations for teens in the country. The legislation has strong support from doctors, who warn against the dangers of ultraviolet light that is used in tanning beds. While teenagers only constitute five percent of tanning customers, salon owners fear that this law would hurt business in an already struggling economy.
Under current Texas law, everyone under the age of eighteen needs the permission of a parent. Those who are under sixteen years of age and desire darker skin must have a parent present. And, only young clients up to the age of thirteen now need a note from the doctor.
If you used a tanning salon that you believe was not following strict oversight of its procedures and you have medical problems as a result, Bertolino LLP has personal injury attorneys in Austin, Houston and San Antonio who can fight for the compensation you deserve. If you are the business owner of a tanning salon who has been unfairly accused of poor business practices, our business lawyers who practice in the area of business litigation can offer the defense you need.

A member of the Trial and Appellate Litigation Team, Mr. Bertolino's practice is devoted largely to complex transactions, commercial litigation, business law, entertainment law and family law matters.
