Gas Station and Convenience Store: Lawsuits Filed

Gas stations and convenience stores are essential businesses for patrons on the go. For Texans in particular, these stores can offer everything from hot and cold beverages to meals, alcohol, groceries, gasoline, and more. Because these operations offer a variety of services, properly protecting them and their inventory can be complex.

While weather and other natural disaster events are often a threat, so are vandalism and burglary that can result in damaged property. Although many gas station and convenience store owners may find comfort in having all of the essential insurance policies in place to protect their business, when a claim for property damage is filed, the insurance company may choose to deny, underpay, or delay the claim for their own financial benefit. When this happens, a lawsuit may be necessary to fully recover what is rightfully owed under the policy.

Owners of gas stations and convenience stores most commonly experience instances of commercial property damage to the store’s inventory, electronic data and point of sale systems, signage, structural damage, loss of income due to business interruption, and equipment breakdown. When these events happen, it’s of paramount importance for owners to repair the damage and get back up and running normally as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, if an insurance claim is wrongly delayed and/or denied, it can make it incredibly difficult for owners to get back on their feet without the help of a commercial property damage claim attorney.
