Casino patrons from all parts of New Jersey and other states contact Atlantic City accident attorneys Donald G. Targan and Michael J. Pender to represent them in matters involving Atlantic City casinos. Our thorough representation has led to significant settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients.
For example, we received a $1 million settlement against an Atlantic City casino that over-served a patron. Upon leaving the casino, the highly intoxicated patron drove her vehicle the wrong way up the Brigantine Bridge and collided head-on with our client, who was on his way to work. Our client suffered a very severe leg fracture and traumatic brain injury. He was unable to work for over a year. In this case, the casino intentionally destroyed the surveillance tape that would have documented the service of alcohol to the patron.
In another case, we obtained a $500,000 Atlantic City jury verdict against a casino that wrongfully discharged our client after years of loyal service as a casino employee. The employee was terminated because he reported wrongdoing by the casino.
We have also obtained a substantial settlement for a client who was assaulted by an intoxicated casino patron. The patron stalked our client, who sought the assistance of casino staff, supervisors and security for a significant period of time earlier that evening. Nevertheless, the casino continued to serve alcohol to the aggressive, intoxicated patron, who ultimately attacked our client, causing him a significant injury, which required surgery.
