More details to this question:
I was about to get gas for my truck. I slid my debit card, entered my pin and was immediately showered with gas head to toe and also the side of my truck. I suffered chemical burns to my eyes and really bad headaches. The attendant told the police that someone drove off with the gas nozzle prior to me pulling into the station.

If I understand your facts, it looks like you have a case against the person who drove off with the gas nozzle, for sure. Since you may not know who that person is, & that may not be an insured event under his motor vehicle policy, that probably doesn't help. Whether you have a case against the gas station depends on many facts, that will not become clear until a thorough investigation. It is usually difficult to obtain a lawyer to help you with this type case unless your damages (severity of your injury) is catastrophic.
