When negligence takes a life, New York law allows the family to seek accountability and compensation for their loss. Alan Ripka & Associates represents Queens clients in wrongful death claims across Queens 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 Queens, guiding injured Queens residents and families from the first call through settlement or trial.
Queens wrongful death cases are generally handled in Queens County Supreme Court at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica. 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 Queens 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.
