Gas Station/Convenience Store Injuries

Gas Stations and Convenience Stores owe a duty to customers and visitors to keep their property free of unsafe conditions and hidden dangers. Many of these businesses are open 24 hours. Around the clock they are frequented by customers who are doing everything from pumping gas to buying groceries. Through out the day they are visited by their vendors who bring everything from gas refills to food and ice. There are constant opportunities for injuries to occur. Whether it is an oil or fuel spill by the gas pumps, defective equipment, an unsafe condition or something on the floor inside, the owner has a duty to require regular inspections, cleaning and maintenance of the property. When they fail to do their duty, people get hurt. The injuries they cause can range from bruises to broken bones and in a few unfortunate cases, death. Often we find that the staff of the gas station or convenience store is under trained and uninterested in safety. In many cases we find that the staff doesn’t even know what their duties are.
