Problems with 3rd Party Carriers Insurance

• Carriers insurance only protects against their contractual or legal liabilities arising from their trading conditions, which invariably impose a limitation per tonne or per kilo.
• You as the client must prove loss or damage occurred whilst in the custody and control of the carrier and negligence to be successful in claiming against them. Their conditions of carriage also impose a time limitation for loss or damage which means claims can become time barred.
• Carriers responsible for loss or damage or their insurers may be based overseas and this leads to inevitable problems in obtaining recompense
• Proving that the carrier is liable for damage suffered is often an expensive and time consuming process
