In the world of logistics, accidents happen, shipments get damaged, and goods can be lost. These incidents disrupt business operations and can lead to significant financial losses. Many businesses hesitate to handle these claims due to their complexity or lack the expertise to manage them effectively. That’s where Williams and Associates step in, offering over 30 years of experience in managing loss and damage claims to help clients recover losses efficiently and with minimal hassle.
What Are Loss and Damage Claims?
Loss and damage claims occur when goods are damaged, lost, or compromised during shipping or transit. Whether it’s due to a truck accident, poor weather conditions, or mishandling, businesses often find themselves facing financial setbacks. Common issues include missing parts, moisture-damaged materials, or completely destroyed shipments. For example:
- A construction company’s equipment might be damaged during transportation.
- A food manufacturer’s goods could be ruined by water during shipping.
- In less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments, goods may get crushed or damaged due to improper packing.
Why Businesses Struggle with Shipping Claims
Filing a successful freight damage claim or shipping loss claim requires a deep understanding of the process, proper documentation, and timely communication with carriers. Many businesses are unsure about how to file a claim, unaware of required documentation, or unfamiliar with deadlines. This often leads to denied claims or missed recovery opportunities.
Navigating the complex rules of carrier liability and cargo insurance claims is another challenge. Carriers frequently ask for specific evidence or additional information, and without experience, businesses find themselves stuck in long delays or facing claim denials.
