The DB Cargo Full Load Solutions goods transport insurance - DB Cargo Full Load Solutions works on the basis of the General German Forwarding Terms & Conditions (ADSp), which also regulate liability.

The liability conditions provide that the forwarding agent is not liable, amongst other things, for inevitable events. This means that if your goods are damaged, for example, as a result of a traffic accident, you may not be entitled to any damage claim at all in the case of doubt. The liability clause also regulates that the forwarding agent is liable in accordance with the liability provisions of the causer of the accident. So that you can claim your damages you may have to be satisfied with the liability of the warehouse keeper in Madrid or the port transhipment operations in Singapore in the case of damage, so that your damages will really only be settled inadequately. Numerous service providers are needed to execute a transport, all of whom have their own liability base. The choice of service provider by the forwarding agent (Die Auswahl des Spediteurs auf die Dienstleister) is, in part only limited, resp. excluded.  Damage can be caused by the parties involved both through the physical and the documentary handling of your goods.  Your damage claim will then be limited to the liability conditions of the respective causer of the damage.

  • Transport carriers / haulage contractors (truck, railway, inland vessel, ship, aircraft) as well as their vicarious agents
  • Transhipment and stevedoring operations at the point of departure, at transhipment points, airports and seaports, as well as the destination point.
  • Customs authorities and other authorities of the state

The claimant is liable for the enforcement of damage claims and has to provide detailed evidence of his claim. This effort costs you your work, time and money!
