A car crash, a fall on a casino floor, an injury at work, a dog bite on the way home. When an injury turns your life upside down, you want someone nearby who knows how to win cases here. Our office is at 1548 Atlantic Avenue, a short walk from the Atlantic County Civil Courts Building, and we have represented injured locals and visitors in Atlantic City for decades.
Atlantic City has residents, commuters, casino workers, and millions of visitors. That mix creates some injury cases you see everywhere and others specific to a resort town. Choose your case type to learn more.
Crashes on the Expressway, the Pikes and the streets around the casinos.
Casino, hotel, hospital, and construction workers hurt on the job.
Falls, falling debris and equipment injuries on job sites.
Delivery trucks and tractor-trailers serving the casinos and shore.
Serious rider injuries, especially in summer traffic.
People hit on Pacific Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and near the Boardwalk.
Cyclists struck by drivers in town and along the shore roads.
Falls caused by unsafe property, broken stairs, and negligent security.
Bites and attacks caused by a dog owner’s negligence.
Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and severe burns.
Support and recovery for families who have lost a loved one.
Atlantic County roads are dangerous. New Jersey State Police preliminary data for 2024 shows 56 traffic deaths in Atlantic County, and 20 of them were pedestrians (NJSP fatal crash report). The Black Horse Pike has a long history of pedestrian deaths, and the stretch of Albany Avenue entering the city is one of the busiest gateways in South Jersey.
Visitors add another layer. When someone from Pennsylvania or New York causes a crash, or when you are the visitor, the insurance picture gets more complicated. Casino and hotel cases often involve large corporate owners, outside security companies and maintenance contractors, and each one points at the others. We sort out who is responsible and which policy pays.
Serious injuries in Atlantic City usually mean a trip to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Campus on Pacific Avenue, the Level II trauma center that serves Atlantic County (NJ Department of Health). We work with your treating providers to document every part of your injury and recovery.

Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Waiting can cost you the case entirely.
Under New Jersey’s comparative negligence law, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1, you can still recover if you were partly to blame, as long as your share of fault is not greater than the other side’s. In plain terms, you can recover if you are 50 percent or less at fault, and your award is reduced by your percentage.
If your injury involves city property, a public bus, or a government vehicle, N.J.S.A. 59:8-8 generally requires you to file a written notice of claim within 90 days. This is one of the most common ways good cases are lost.
Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage usually pays medical bills first, and your right to sue for pain and suffering may depend on the policy option you chose.
Every case is different, but a personal injury claim in New Jersey may include:
Call, fill out the form, or stop by Atlantic Avenue. We listen to what happened and tell you honestly whether you have a case.
We gather police reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical records before evidence disappears. In casino cases, video is often overwritten quickly, so we move fast.
You focus on getting better. We track your bills, lost wages and how the injury affects your daily life.
We push the insurance company for a fair settlement and are ready to file suit in the Atlantic County Superior Court when they will not pay what your case is worth. We never settle without your approval.
We represent injured people across Atlantic City, including Chelsea, Ducktown, the Inlet, Venice Park, Bungalow Park and the Marina District, and in nearby communities such as Ventnor City, Margate, Brigantine, Pleasantville, Absecon, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway, Linwood and Somers Point. If getting to our office is hard, we can handle most of your case by phone.
Keith E. Zaid was born and raised in Atlantic County. After earning his degree from Temple University and his law degree from Tulane, he returned home, opened his practice in Atlantic City, and has focused on personal injury ever since. He handles cases in New Jersey municipal and Superior Courts and in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
Robert S. Shiekman leads the firm’s workers’ compensation work. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, he ran his own litigation practice before joining the firm in 2018, and he regularly appears before the workers’ compensation courts, the Superior Court, and the Appellate Division.
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
“One of the best in AC, you can trust them wherever you are. Thank you Keith and all your workers.”

In most cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in New Jersey. Claims against a public entity, such as the city or a county agency, usually require a written notice within 90 days. Call us early so no deadline is missed.
Yes. New Jersey uses modified comparative negligence. You can recover as long as your share of fault is not greater than the other party’s, and your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Yes. If you were injured in Atlantic City, your case is usually handled in New Jersey, even if you live in another state. We can do much of the work by phone and email so you do not have to keep traveling back.
It depends on what caused the injury. The property owner, a maintenance or cleaning contractor, or a security company may share responsibility. We investigate quickly because surveillance video and incident reports are not kept forever.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means we are paid only if we recover money for you. The first consultation and second opinions are always free.
Yes. Hablamos Español. You can talk through your case in Spanish from the first call.
Our office is at 1548 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401. Call 609-415-0604 any time, 24/7. In-person meetings are by appointment.
Keep photos, the police report number, medical records and bills, pay stubs showing missed work, and the names of any witnesses. Do not post about the accident on social media, and tell us quickly about any casino, hotel or street cameras that may have recorded it.
It can be both. Workers’ comp covers medical care and lost wages from your employer’s insurance. If someone other than your employer caused the injury, you may also have a separate injury claim. Our attorneys handle both.
You speak with our team about what happened, and we tell you honestly whether you have a case. The call is free, there is no obligation, and if we take your case you pay nothing unless we recover money for you.
