Free Case Evaluation: 713-622-6676

I extend 17 years of experience in personal injury and wrongful death representation in auto accidents. Based in Houston, Texas, I represent the families (estates) of fatally injured victims in Harris County and surrounding counties. Contact me today to determine if you have a viable claim stemming from your loved one's car, truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian accident.

We use expert investigators to determine the negligence that caused the crash, and I personally visit the accident site and interview witnesses in building a case for liability. Every avenue of compensation is doggedly pursued. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the survivors can recover damages for:

• Medical and funeral expenses
• Loss of future economic contributions
• Loss of consortium (companionship) and services (e.g., parenting)
• Emotional pain and suffering (e.g., witnessing the death)
• Property damage
• Punitive damages for intentional actions or gross negligence (e.g., a drunk driver)

A wrongful death claim can be brought on behalf of a spouse, child, or parent. Compensation is divided according to the deceased's will, or per the probate (intestacy) laws of Texas.

Close Communication

The typical "hospital lawyer" is more interested in a quick claim than your personal grief. The Law Office of Donald E. Robinowitz focuses on your needs, not ours. I work closely with clients, practically living with the family for the first month. I provide updates on the status of the investigation and wrongful death claim, offering emotional support while I am thoroughly preparing for settlement or trial. I hire experts to calculate the economic losses, and work to present a viable case for the intangible — but no less real — personal losses.
