Argentine judicial rulings on service station incidents

Overview

Legal proceedings in Argentina have resulted in court orders for compensation following incidents at service stations.

In Lamarque, Río Negro, a court ordered a driver, vehicle owner, and insurance company to pay over 4.3 million Argentine pesos in damages. The ruling followed a collision at a YPF station where a reversing vehicle struck a stationary car. While the defense characterized the contact as a “slight and almost imperceptible” graze, an expert report confirmed the impact was sufficient to cause structural damage to the bumper.

In Pergamino, a civil and commercial court ordered a service station to pay 7,010,000 pesos plus interest to a customer. The case involved an employee mistakenly filling a diesel vehicle with gasoline. The court classified the incident as a consumer relationship, finding the company failed in its obligations regarding safety and information. The sentence included material and moral damages, as well as a punitive civil fine.
