Understanding Marathon Injury Claims
Injuries during a marathon aren't always the result of athletic strain. Many are caused by the event organizers’ failure to provide a safe environment. If poor planning, negligent oversight, or insufficient medical staff contributed to your injury, you may have a valid claim under the event’s insurance policy.
Negligent Race Conditions
When routes are not properly maintained or race signage is unclear, the risk of injury significantly increases. Tripping hazards, uneven surfaces, and narrow paths are all signs of negligence on the part of organizers.
Lack of Medical Response
Heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heart complications can quickly escalate without immediate care. Organizers have a duty to provide qualified emergency personnel and adequate hydration and cooling stations.

Got in touch with Matt regarding a scary situation that happened over the weekend. My wife and I were unsure how to proceed and unsure of the next steps. He responded almost immediately, put our fears at ease, and assured us that he was there to help should anything transpire further. Matt was extremely informative, caring, and honest while at the same time serious, professional, and 100% on top of his game. We are extremely grateful!
