When negligence takes a life, New York law allows the family to seek accountability and compensation for their loss. Alan Ripka & Associates represents Manhattan clients in wrongful death claims across New York County — with no fee unless we recover.
When negligence takes a life, New York law allows the family to seek accountability and compensation for their loss. Our firm handles wrongful death matters throughout Manhattan, guiding injured Manhattan residents and families from the first call through settlement or trial.
Manhattan wrongful death cases are generally handled in New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street. Claims involving the City of New York or a public hospital carry shorter notice deadlines — often a notice of claim within 90 days — so it is important to act quickly to protect your rights.
From our office at 400 Madison Avenue, we serve Manhattan clients with decades of trial experience, native Spanish- and Russian-speaking staff, and free, confidential consultations. You pay attorney’s fees only if we recover for you, and if travel is difficult we can meet by phone.
Alan Ripka was inducted into the Medical Malpractice Hall of Fame in 2011 — recognition earned in the courtroom.

We handle injury and malpractice cases on contingency — you pay nothing up front.
Native Spanish- and Russian-speaking team members so nothing gets lost in translation.
