2 months ago, I took the packers' and movers' service to shift my goods from Bangalore to Delhi. I paid an extra amount for insurance coverage as well. But, after receiving my belongings, I found my bed and fridge were damaged. I tried to call them but they didn’t pick up my call. Hence, I researched can I sue moving company for damages? I found yes, I can. I have shared the process I found to sue the moving company below for you.
Can You Sue a Moving Company for Damages?
The answer is yes, you can. This happened to me during my last move. Several of my belongings arrived broken. After researching, I learned the following steps to hold the company accountable.
If the company wants to inspect the damaged items, you must keep clear photos of all the damaged items from multiple angles along with the broken pieces as proof.
Also, save every email, receipt, and moving contract, as these documents are critical to the claim.
The moving contract outlined the type of liability coverage the company provided. Some companies offer full-value protection, while others base compensation on the weight of items.
You can contact the company to file a claim. They can request you for evidence, which includes photos, a detailed inventory of the damaged items, and their estimated value. This step is essential to strengthen your case.
If your claim isn’t resolved fairly or within the timeframe, you can complain to the consumer court. I finally received the money back. I hope you found this helpful.
