Gas stations are by far not the safest places to visit given the hazardous materials stored within its premises, and the slippery substances likely to be found on the ground. Furthermore, pumping gas is something that customers shouldn't be doing in the first place, especially when gas stations hire employees to service customers. Nevertheless, when gas station customers pump their own gas, they are placing themselves and everyone around them at risk of suffering personal injuries from an accident. Not only may there be a severe explosion if a lit cigarette finds its way onto gasoline that has spilt on the floor, but a customer may step on gasoline and suffer a slip and fall accident. Oil is another slippery substance commonly found on gasoline station walking surfaces. In Miami, the Perazzo Law Firm understands that slip and fall accidents at gas stations usually occur when a customer is walking through a gas station parking lot or making their way to pay or purchase something inside the gas station store. Oil, water, antifreeze, brake fluid, axel grease, and other slippery substances may find their way onto walking surfaces and cause a customer or visitor to suffer a slip and fall accident. When slip and fall accidents occur at gas stations, customers may suffer any number of injuries.

Such personal injuries following a slip and fall accident at a gas station may include:

• Breaks, Fractures, and Sprains: most commonly, breaks, fractures, and sprains can include wrists, arms, hips, and ankles.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: spinal cord injuries can include the neck and back and result in herniated discs or disc bulges.
• Contusions: contusions following a slip and fall are very common and may lead to other complications if not treated immediately.
• Cuts and Lacerations: after a slip and fall, elbows, hands, knees, and sometimes the accident victims head may suffer a cut and result in an open wound. Cuts that occur on walking surfaces must be treated immediately to prevent infection as gasoline station surfaces may contain rust particles or other possibly infectious substances.
• Head Trauma: bumps on the head can result in loss of consciousness or concussions, which can lead to more serious damage if not treated or evaluated by a medical professional. Blows to the head should always be evaluated and never overlooked.

In Miami, the personal injury staff dedicated to representing slip and fall accident victims and responsible for handling their insurance claims, understands how gas station operators and their insurance providers address slip and fall accident claims. That is why, the Perazzo Law Firm recommends that accident victims follow up a slip and fall at a gas station by contacting a dedicated personal injury lawyer following the accident.
