Carriers Insurance — Key Considerations
Carriers liability insurance covers a transport operator’s legal liability for loss or damage to goods carried on behalf of third party clients. It responds when goods in the carrier’s care are damaged or lost during transit and the carrier is found legally liable for that loss.
Carriers liability is distinct from goods in transit insurance. Goods in transit insurance covers the goods themselves regardless of fault — the owner of the goods typically holds this cover. Carriers liability covers the carrier’s legal liability to the goods owner when the carrier is responsible for the loss or damage.
Limit of Liability — Getting It Right
Carriers liability limits need to reflect the maximum value of goods that could be in the carrier’s control at any one time — on any single vehicle, or across the fleet if multiple vehicles could be affected by a single event. Underinsurance is common in carriers liability — carriers often insure based on average load values rather than the maximum potential exposure.
