Carrier liability claims concern the legal responsibilities of carriers and their obligations to cargo owners for the loss, damage, or delay of goods entrusted to the carriers for safe transportation.
When such claims arise, our primary goal is to protect the interests of carriers and their liability insurers.
With our extensive experience in claims recovery (gained from seeing things from the other side of the fence), we have encountered a wide range of defences and tactics used to dispute liability.
Drawing on this experience, along with in depth knowledge of international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules (for sea transport), CMR (for road transport), and the Montreal Convention (for air transport), we apply our expertise to help clients minimise their financial exposure. This includes defending or limiting liability, shifting responsibility to the liable party, or negotiating settlements to reach mutually acceptable outcomes.
