Damaged Freight: Expert Insights on Cargo Claim Services

Your Cargo Took a Hit, TLI Takes the Lead

Restoring Trust, One Claim at a Time

Carriers may not always have a legal obligation to compensate for freight damages. Compensation is typically subject to limitations and is contingent upon the carrier's cargo-liability. For instance, concealed damage must typically be reported within five days for a claim to be valid. Carriers are held liable in cases where freight is damaged or lost due to their negligence. With all the loop holes concerning cargo claim liability dollar thresholds based off freight class, and shipment density, it is time to delegate the freight claim settlement negotiations to the experts.
