When goods are lost, stolen, or damaged during transit, many businesses assume they will be compensated for their full value.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Did You Know?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even when a carrier\u00a0is responsible for\u00a0a loss, the amount recoverable may be significantly less than the actual value of the goods.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In certain situations, liability limits imposed by law or by the transportation contract can\u00a0substantially restrict\u00a0the amount payable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/h2>\n

Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be limited by law, the transportation contract, or the carrier’s liability limits. In some cases, the amount paid\u00a0represents\u00a0only a fraction of the actual value of the cargo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the carrier’s role, the importance of the bill of lading, and the protection provided by cargo insurance can help avoid unpleasant surprises when a loss occurs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n
