I was doused with gasoline while pumping gas. I have chemical burns on my chest but didn't report it to the gas station.

You should have the burns medically documented and then consult with a local personal injury attorney who will be able tor eview all the facts of the case.

Please consult with a Florida personal injury attorney immediately. The fact that you didn't report the incident is a negative but there is some hope that perhaps the security cameras at the gas station recorded the incident. However, the longer you wait, the more likely it is that the tapes will be erased/taped over, etc. Your attorney should immediately send a letter to the gas station putting them on notice of your incident and advising them that they must preserve any evidence (i.e. videotape) of the incident.

You should also seek medical treatment, if you haven't already, and tell your doctor(s) how, when, and where you were injured. If you haven't misplaced it, the receipt for your gas would also be helpful although, if you paid by credit card, those records can be easily obtained.

If I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Take care,
Chelsie
