Freight Shippers Rarely Receive Full Cargo Compensation Study Finds

Freight Shippers Rarely Receive Full Cargo Compensation Study Finds

Full compensation for damaged or lost goods during freight transport is not always legally justified. The law clearly defines the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of shippers, freight forwarders, and carriers. Carrier liability is typically capped, based on weight rather than the value of the goods. All parties should reasonably share risks within the legal framework to maintain the healthy development of the industry and achieve a win-win situation. This approach ensures fairness and promotes sustainable practices in freight transportation.
