- Summary
- When a driver loses a shipment due to mishandling or damage, the carrier faces significant legal risks. By explicitly declaring the loss of the item, you can shift the burden entirely onto the carrier to prove the goods were damaged during transit, rather than the carrier having to compensate you for the value of your package. This practice effectively removes your liability to the carrier, allowing you to secure compensation from the goods' value or the carrier's own insurance policy instead of paying you the full cost of the lost item. Therefore, you must declare the loss of the shipment immediately upon discovering damage to establish this position and avoid being held liable for your own loss.
