10. That's a good thing. Lawsuits, not so much.

The city is not at fault, nor is the marathon event.

13. Whether or not the city or marathon is at fault they will be sued.

Lawyers know that juries will be very reluctant to turn down the victims.

6. Great news! They'll be suing everyone in sight!

Just what we need.

12. There will be claims

For businesses that had windows blown out and cut people. Not the establishments fault, but their insurance may pay for damage.
