Carriers liability

The insurance liability of the carrier:

• In road transport, the carrier’s liability is restricted to the maximum of 8,33 SDR per gross kg of goods (CMR insurance);
• In the case of loss or damage of goods during the local transportation process, the liability of the carrier is stipulated by the General Conditions of the Freight Forwarders Association of the relevant country, or by other valid documents;
• Liability insurance like any other compensates damage on the basis of real weight; consequently, not on the basis of possible volume weight.

It has to be remembered that in addition to the restrictions in the rates of compensation, the carrier’s liability also involves damages, caused solely due to the fault of the carrier. The carrier is not responsible for damage if such damage was caused by circumstances, which could not be avoided by the carrier (e.g., robbery).
