Carrier Liability

Carrier liability refers to the legal responsibility of transportation companies (carriers) for the loss or damage of goods they transport. When a carrier agrees to deliver goods, they assume a duty to handle those goods safely and securely. If items are lost or damaged during transit due to the carrier's negligence or failure to meet industry standards, they may be held liable for the losses. However, liability can vary based on contracts, applicable laws, and the type of transport services used, so understanding these factors is essential for businesses and individuals shipping goods.
