Participating in marathons and endurance events can push your body to its limits—and sometimes result in serious injuries.

We handle communication with event organizers, sponsors, and insurers so you can focus on healing.
Understanding Marathon Injury Claims
Not every injury during a race is just “part of the sport.” Some are caused by clear negligence—whether due to unsafe race conditions or poor medical preparedness. Our team investigates each case to determine if there was a failure in duty of care and whether an insurance claim is appropriate.
Injuries Caused by Unsafe Conditions
Poorly marked routes, uneven pavement, or wet and slippery surfaces can lead to serious injuries such as sprains, fractures, or concussions. Organizers have a responsibility to maintain a safe environment for runners throughout the course.
Injuries from Medical Negligence
Races should always include prompt access to hydration, first aid, and emergency responders. When these are lacking or delayed, runners may suffer from preventable conditions like heat stroke, dehydration, or cardiac complications.
Common Types of Marathon Injuries
Runners can suffer a range of serious injuries during marathons, especially when safety standards are ignored. These include:
-
Heat stroke and dehydration
-
Fractures or dislocations from falls
-
Muscle tears and sprains
-
Heart complications
-
Rhabdomyolysis
-
Concussions or head trauma
If you’ve suffered any of these while participating in a race, you may be entitled to compensation through an insurance claim.

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!

Matt’s outstanding hard work, confidence, and representation speak for themselves from the first moment you step foot in his office until the very last court hearing. His passion and drive make you feel as though there’s an entire army behind you. Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, for being so savage. If you need a total beast in your corner, call Matt Ory!
