Freight Claims

Freight claims, in the context of cargo claims, refer to formal requests made by shippers or receivers for compensation when goods are lost, damaged, or delayed during transportation. If a shipment does not arrive in good condition or within the agreed timeframe, the affected party may file a claim with the carrier or shipping company. This process typically involves providing documentation, such as shipping receipts and damage reports, to prove the loss or damage. Successful claims can lead to reimbursement for the value of the goods or additional costs incurred due to the issue.
