Today, a Claims reader emailed to inquire about potential legal battles arising from the twin explosions at the 117th Boston Marathon. Could event organizers be deemed culpable for the loss of three lives and serious injury to many more?
Whose duty is it to safeguard participants and onlookers? Many would argue that no amount of security could have prevented the tragedy. Furthermore, it is evident the casualties could have been far greater, were it not for other preventative measures taken by event organizers, such as the establishment of a medical triage unit.
For answers, we consulted the experts at FC&S Online. For more than 80 years, FC&S has helped set the gold standard for policy interpretation while serving as a reference for professionals across the P&C industry.
