Cargo Liability
SWH counsels insurers on cargo liability matters and coverage issues arising under air, marine and motor truck cargo liability coverage forms and policies. We have expertise in complicated claims under state and federal law involving common, contract, and private carriers, intrastate and interstate cargo transit issues, cargo loading and unloading, and damage to cargo in a transit carrier’s custody, care and control. We also have significant experience handling Carmack cases involving federal regulations and statutes governing trucker’s liability for damage to property while in intrastate or interstate commerce. We also handle intrastate cargo insurance claims and coverage cases involving claims against warehousing and trucking entities for damaged, missing and stolen cargo.
