When a hospital, doctor, or clinic falls below the accepted standard of care and a patient is harmed, that is medical malpractice. Alan Ripka & Associates represents Staten Island clients in medical malpractice claims across Richmond County — with no fee unless we recover.
When a hospital, doctor, or clinic falls below the accepted standard of care and a patient is harmed, that is medical malpractice. Our firm handles medical malpractice matters at Staten Island University Hospital and Richmond University Medical Center, guiding injured Staten Island residents and families from the first call through settlement or trial.
Staten Island medical malpractice cases are generally handled in Richmond County Supreme Court at 18 Richmond Terrace in St. George. 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 Staten Island 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.
