Making a Claim for Cargo Damage on a Cruise Ship?
Work with a Board Certified Maritime Law Attorney in Miami
Claims for cargo shipped for international commerce are governed by certain laws and regulations, such as those covered in the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA). Under this act, ship owners are liable for cargo that is damaged from "hook to hook," or in other words, from loading to discharge.
