Dedicated Advocacy for Families Seeking Accountability and Compensation

At Ace Law, I believe that negligent individuals and corporations must be held accountable when their actions result in the loss of life.

Kevin Acevedo – Tenacious Legal Advocate for Texas Families

When a loved one’s death is caused by negligence or intentional harm, the deceased’s estate may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. At Ace Law, I build powerful cases for clients in Houston and throughout Texas, handling claims involving:

• Auto & Truck Accidents — Reckless, distracted, or impaired driving
• Defective Products — Dangerous consumer goods and faulty machinery
• Inadequate Security — Preventable crimes due to property owner negligence
• Medical Malpractice — Fatal errors by healthcare providers
• Birth Injuries — Preventable complications leading to newborn loss
• Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect — Protecting the elderly from mistreatment
• Slips, Falls & Premises Liability — Hazardous property conditions
• Workplace & Industrial Accidents — Fatal job-related injuries
• Traumatic Brain Injuries — Severe impacts leading to wrongful death
• Motorcycle & Aviation Accidents — High-risk collisions
• Assault & Homicide — Civil claims alongside criminal cases
• Mesothelioma & Toxic Exposure — Deadly illnesses caused by corporate negligence

With an in-depth understanding of Texas wrongful death laws, I will navigate every legal challenge to build the strongest possible case for your family.

Aggressive Legal Representation to Maximize Compensation

Acting quickly after a wrongful death is crucial to preserving evidence and securing the justice your family deserves. I anticipate common defense strategies used by insurance companies and corporations to reduce liability and counter them with strategic, well-prepared arguments.

I fight tirelessly to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses incurred before passing
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of future earnings and financial support
• Mental anguish and emotional suffering
• Loss of love, companionship, and guidance
• Lost benefits, including health insurance and pensions

Each wrongful death case is unique, and I collaborate with private investigators, expert witnesses, and forensic specialists to prove liability, establish damages, and strengthen your claim.

Determined to Win – Inside and Outside the Courtroom

I aggressively pursue out-of-court settlements to get families the compensation they deserve as swiftly as possible. However, if the opposition refuses to offer a fair resolution, I am prepared to be a fierce advocate in litigation — fearlessly taking your case to trial.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Under Texas law, a wrongful death claim can typically be filed by the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. If none of these family members file within three months, the executor or administrator of the estate may file on their behalf.

What is the difference between a wrongful death claim and a survival action?

A wrongful death claim compensates surviving family members for their own losses, such as lost financial support and companionship. A survival action compensates the deceased’s estate for damages the deceased could have claimed had they survived, such as medical bills and pain suffered before death.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Texas?

Texas law generally provides two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

What damages can be recovered in a wrongful death case?

Families may recover compensation for lost income and financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, funeral and burial expenses, and mental anguish, among other damages.

Can punitive damages be awarded in a wrongful death case?

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Texas law may allow for punitive (exemplary) damages in addition to standard compensatory damages.

What should I do if I suspect my loved one’s death was caused by negligence?

Contact an attorney as soon as possible to help preserve evidence, request an autopsy or medical records if needed, and avoid signing any settlement or waiver from an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
