Common Types Of Atlantic City Casino & Hotel Negligence Cases We See

Hotels and casinos in Atlantic City have a clear legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to meet that responsibility, serious injuries are the result, and we hold them accountable

Here are some of the most common casino and hotel negligence issues we see:

Slip-and-fall accidents from wet floors, drink spills, freshly mopped surfaces, or uneven flooring
Tripping hazards from poorly maintained carpets, loose tiles, or unmarked changes in floor height
Falls on stairways due to broken steps, loose railings, or poor lighting
Foodborne illness and food poisoning from unsanitary restaurant or buffet conditions
Assaults or theft resulting from negligent hotel or casino security
Elevator malfunctions leading to sudden drops, misaligned stops, or entrapment
Escalator accidents, including sudden stops or faulty handrails
Bed bug bites and infestations caused by unsanitary room conditions
Pool and hot tub drownings or injuries due to lack of lifeguards or unsafe maintenance
Broken or defective furniture that collapses or causes injury
Violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), such as inaccessible rooms or entrances
Electrical burns or shocks from faulty wiring or unsafe appliances provided by the hotel
Falling objects, such as unsecured signage, lighting fixtures, or luggage racks
Parking lot or parking garage injuries, including falls, assaults, or vehicle accidents
Shuttle bus or courtesy transport accidents provided by the hotel
Burns or scalding injuries from malfunctioning showers, hot water systems, or hotel equipment
Inadequate fire safety measures, including faulty alarms, sprinklers, or blocked exits

When you’re a guest at a resort, hotel, or casino in Atlantic City, you have the right to expect that the property will be safe, whether you’re walking through the lobby, riding an escalator, dining at a restaurant, out at a nightclub, or staying in a guest room. If a manager or property owner fails to correct a hazardous condition and you’re injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. Our family at Castellani Law Firm knows how to hold negligent hotels and casinos accountable and fight for the recovery you deserve.

Injuries Caused By Hotel And Casino Negligence

A lot of injuries we see from hotel and casino negligence are serious and life-changing. Slip-and-falls can lead to broken bones or spinal cord injuries. Broken stairs or malfunctioning elevators can cause traumatic brain injuries. Even inadequate security can lead to assaults or robberies that leave emotional scars, not just physical ones.

Once you're injured, it's not just the pain. It's missed work, medical bills piling up, physical therapy, and a ton of stress. It can also change how you live day-to-day. We’ve worked with clients who were just trying to enjoy a weekend away and ended up needing surgery, losing income, or suffering chronic pain.

That’s not acceptable, and it’s why our family fights tirelessly for the South Jersey residents and tourists we represent.

‍

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Liability can get a little complicated. But in simple terms, anyone responsible for maintaining the property or causing the unsafe conditions can be held accountable.

In hotel and casino cases, it might be:

The hotel or casino owner
Property management companies
Security companies
Cleaning staff or contractors
Event organizers (if it happened during a conference or show)

Sometimes, more than one party is involved.

For example, if you were injured in a hotel’s restaurant due to faulty flooring, both the hotel and the restaurant could share responsibility.

This is where having an experienced Atlantic City hotel and casino negligence lawyer makes all the difference. Castellani Law Firm is rooted in this community, our Northfield office is just 10 minutes from Atlantic City, and we’ve proudly served South Jersey families for over 35 years.

We investigate every angle. Who owns the property? Who manages it day-to-day? Was anyone else involved? We dig until we know who’s at fault, and then we build your case from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I slipped but didn’t file a report right away?

That’s more common than you think, and it doesn’t automatically ruin your case. While reporting right away helps, it’s not a dealbreaker if you didn’t. The key is gathering other proof like photos, witnesses, your medical records.
If you were hurt, call us. We’ll look into what can still be done.

Can I sue if I was injured as an Atlantic City casino employee?

Yes, but the process is different. As an employee, your injury might fall under workers’ compensation. That means you’d file a claim through your employer’s insurance, not sue them directly.

But if a third party was involved (like a maintenance company or outside vendor), you might have a separate claim. We can help sort that out.

How long do I have to file a casino or hotel negligence claim in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, the general time limit is two years from the date of the accident. That might sound like a lot of time, but trust us, it goes fast. And the longer you wait, the harder it can be to gather solid evidence.

What If the casino blames me for my accident?

Casinos and hotels often try to shift the blame, claiming an injury was your fault — maybe that you “weren’t paying attention” or “ignored warning signs.”

But New Jersey follows a law called comparative negligence. That means even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as the property owner or business was more at fault than you. Don’t let these blame games keep you from pursuing justice.

Do I need to live in New Jersey to file a claim?

No! A ton of our clients are out-of-towners. If you were hurt while visiting Atlantic City, you can still file a claim here. You don’t need to live in New Jersey. We’ll handle everything from here and keep you updated, no matter where you live.
