Typically, there are four common types of freight claims that you will encounter in the industry. Damage, loss, shortage, and concealed damage or shortage are the common claims that can occur in logistics.

The purpose of a freight claim is for the carrier to reimburse the shipper / consignee so as to put them in the position is if the carriage had been properly had carried out ing to the bill of lading. For this reason, claimants are generally expected to file a claim to recover their costs, excluding profits.

How to File a Freight Claim Identify the shipment. State the type of loss or damage. State the claim amount. State expectations for payment.

Crash Course Summary of Freight Claims 101‍ A freight claim is a demand for reimbursement from the carrier when shippers are overcharged or face losses due to damaged packages. A signed agreement between the carrier and shipper should identify liability details, and what types of claims can be filed.

What types of damage claims are there? Visible damage — The damage is readily apparent. Shortage — Only part of the shipment is received. Concealed damage — This is damage or shortage discovered after the delivery driver has left and the shipment is un-palletized and/or shipping containers or boxes are opened.

The shipper is responsible for proving that the freight was delivered to the carrier in good condition and packaged correctly. It is then the burden of the carrier to prove it was not negligent and one of the exceptions under the Carmack Amendment applies.

Every freight shipment is covered by limited liability, meaning the carrier is responsible for loss and damage under the Carmack Amendment. The amount of coverage is a set dollar amount per pound of freight determined by the carrier and based on the commodity.
