CARGO TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE
CARGO INSURANCE
Insurance — no one ever wants to have to use it, but it's better to have it than not. For businesses, insuring your cargo is just as important as insuring your staff and operations. The longer you're in business and the larger your operation grows, the more likely it is that you will encounter an issue that requires insurance.
CSL Express Line is your one-stop shop for transportation insurance and solutions alike. In all of our practices, we strive to find you the most time-efficient and cost-effective solutions.
WHY YOU NEED CARGO INSURANCE
CSL Express Line carries limited liability for every piece of cargo we move. That means that in the uncommon situation where cargo is lost or damaged, you may still be responsible for covering some of the costs associated with replacing and returning said cargo. Transportation insurance ensures that you receive compensation for the full value of your cargo in the worst-case scenario.
OUR CARGO INSURANCE PROTECTION
Shipping your products, especially internationally, is the point at which your stock is at its most vulnerable. Our air, ocean and motor truck cargo insurance protects your business and finances against the costs associated with risks like:
-
Loss or theft: While we aim to keep all transportation routes secure, a package or shipment may get lost in transit. Theft is also a concern that we try to mitigate wherever possible. When your product doesn't arrive at its destination, we'll make sure you're refunded and that we pay close attention next time.
-
Damage: From issues with handling to accidents with shipping methods, damage is possible throughout the shipment process. We treat these issues as a loss, covering your refund and replacement costs as soon as possible.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROMPT CLAIM FILING
To receive a payout for any of these, the cargo owner must submit detailed documentation to the insurance carrier as soon as possible. In most cases, the claim has to be filed within a year of the incident, but you should always check with your insurance carrier to determine the maximum timeframe for filing your claim.
WEIGHING YOUR OPTIONS CAREFULLY
While insurance may seem like an unnecessary upfront cost covering issues that rarely occur, having it when you need it most is priceless. With cargo insurance, you may be on the hook for a few minor charges along with filing claims and informing the right people, but those costs are nothing compared to having peace of mind knowing your cargo is well and truly cared for.
Furthermore, though most of these cases are quickly rectified, insurance carriers may have some questions or concerns that need resolving by an unbiased third party, like a loss adjuster. In these instances, the insurance customer would also be responsible for finding and reaching out to the adjuster.
