LOL - my fellow rules nits have beaten me to it :)
 
First off, the hands definitely [B]aren't[/B] dead, and ruling them such would be an epic awful decision.  See this post: [URL]https://www.cardschat.com/forum/general-poker-13/when-a-hand-dead-159537/[/URL]
 
Aside from that, what Grossberger has posted is accurate.  This is the most important part:
 
[INDENT]17. If the deck stub gets fouled for some reason, such as the dealer believing the deal is over and dropping the deck, the deal must still be played out, and the deck reconstituted in as fair a way as possible. 
 
[/INDENT]If they've fallen in such a way that it's impossible to put them back in their correct order then reshuffling what's left of the deck is the correct decision.  Remember that the cards were going to be random anyway - sometimes the reshuffle will mean you'll lose a hand you'd otherwise have won, and sometimes it means you'll win a hand you'd otherwise have lost so it all comes out in the wash and is the fairest way of doing it.
 
Also, for those suggesting the dealer be fired / shot / drawn and quartered / whatever, I'm assuming y'all never make any mistakes in your jobs and, moreover, you always cap your cards, put your blinds and antes out without prompting, never act out of turn and never comment on a hand you're not taking part in while you're at the table?
