by | Oct 16, 2023 | Case Studies

Today, we are delighted to share an insightful maritime claims case from our portfolio. This story not only highlights our ability to solve complex maritime challenges but also serves as a guide for anyone navigating the complex world of maritime claims.

 

Situation 🌊

Our customer ordered 1039 cases of rum from Panama to Bulgaria. However, upon delivery, a worrying discrepancy appeared. A routine inspection at the Bulgarian port revealed losses and signs of tampering with security and customs seals. An independent investigation confirmed these findings, providing a strong basis for our client to bring a maritime claim against the carrier.

 

Challenge 🧩

Maritime claims are often complex and can be financially draining. Many businesses choose to bear losses rather than embark on this difficult journey. At Clams Trans, we firmly believe that pursuing a maritime claim is always  an option, regardless of the chances of success.

 

Rulebook 📜

Successful management of maritime claims depends on compliance with the Hague-Visby rules. These rules are similar to CMR claims, with one important exception. Claims for loss or damage to goods can only be made against the carrier if the loss or damage is not due to unforeseeable events such as fire, weather, natural disasters or war. war, beyond human control.

 

Resolution 🏁

In this case, the cause of loss does not fall within these exceptional circumstances. Our customer registered a complaint about the missing goods: 19 barrels of rum. We support our position with bills of lading, reports, commercial invoices, packing lists and photographic evidence of the  condition of the goods upon arrival in Bulgaria.

 

Spin and win 🎉

The carrier initially contested our claim, relying on  industry jurisdiction. However, undeterred, we persisted and they eventually made us a settlement offer that was not adverse. Given their significant presence in the shipping sector, it would be difficult to file a complaint in court. Our client, after careful consideration, accepted the settlement offer, recognizing that the damages were less than  actual damages but were a significant success, given the carrier’s global position. transfer.

 

In short 🌟

This case highlights the importance of perseverance in the complex world of maritime claims. Our client’s decision to challenge the  carrier, bolstered by regulatory compliance and compelling arguments, produced a  favorable outcome. This shows that the pursuit of justice, even in complicated situations, is worth it.

 

This victory shows that strong resolve and  arguments can defeat formidable opponents in maritime claims, reinforcing our belief that the pursuit of justice is always a viable and rewarding option.

Turn challenges on the road into successes: How Claims Trans wins with MTPL claims

Turn challenges on the road into successes: How Claims Trans wins with MTPL claims

by | Sep 26, 2023 | Case Studies

 

We’re delighted to share an incredible success story from our team, which highlights our capabilities in the world of Motor Third Party Liability (MTPL) claims. We recently secured a remarkable reimbursement for one of our valued customers, proving once again that Clams Trans is your go-to solution for all your transport claims. 🌟

The Facts

Our client’s vehicle was involved in a multi-vehicle road accident on an Italian motorway, resulting in significant repair costs. This unfortunate incident occurred while the vehicle was moving slowly, causing a chain reaction of collisions that left our customer’s vehicle sandwiched between two large trucks. Sadly, the accident also resulted in fatalities, underscoring the severity of the impact.

The Challenges

Our client initially attempted to claim damages from their own Motor Third Party Liability (MTPL) insurer, but their claim was unfairly denied based on policy regulations. Despite persistent efforts, the insurer maintained an inflexible stance.

Actions

Faced with this significant challenge, our team chose an alternative path by directly seeking recovery of repair costs from the MTPL insurance company of the at-fault party. As is customary with any MTPL claim, the insurer required a formal event record as evidence of the insured’s liability. We collaborated with the local police unit that arrived at the scene of the accident and completed the necessary procedures. Due to the seriousness of the case, obtaining special permission from the Attorney General of the Court of Peace was crucial. After a series of communications and legal procedures, we obtained the necessary clearance and returned to law enforcement to provide it, granting us access to key police protocols.

Results

Armed with compelling evidence that clearly demonstrated the responsible party, we presented the protocol to the MTPL insurance company. Although they took their time to assess the documents and repair costs, they ultimately recognized the merits of the customer’s claim and agreed to reimburse the costs, excluding VAT.

Although VAT is excluded, the reimbursement amount is still substantial, covering 95% of each individual repair.

Conclusions🏁

This success is a testament to our team’s expertise in handling complex transport claims, effectively communicating with different jurisdictions, and proving the validity of customer claims. At Clams Trans, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing innovative solutions to all your transport challenges.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support as a valued member of our network. If you have any questions or if we can assist you in addressing similar challenges, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Together, we can overcome any obstacle in the world of transport claims! 🚚✨

withheld deducted freights

In a riveting legal battle, Clams Trans emerged victorious by securing justice for a client facing unjustified withheld deducted freights. This milestone case sheds light on the critical role we play in advocating for our clients’ rights in the realm of logistics and transportation.

The Challenge: Pursuing Resolution ❌

When our client’s cargo suffered damages during transit from Uzbekistan to North Macedonia, a contractor unilaterally deducted a sum for damages. Armed with unclear documentation, the contractor’s actions were unjustifiable. Despite our efforts to seek an extrajudicial solution, the claimant remained unresponsive.

Legal Landscape: CMR Convention’s Significance 📜

Navigating the intricacies of international transport claims required us to lean on the CMR Convention’s tenets. Article 17, Paragraph 4, addresses exceptional risks that could limit carrier liability, while Article 18, Paragraph 2, mandates claimants to establish non-attribution to these risks.

Strategic Pursuit of Justice: Litigation in Belarus 🛤️

Undeterred by obstacles, we initiated legal proceedings in Belarus, the jurisdiction of the claimant. While challenges arose – from obstruction tactics to fabricated documents – we remained steadfast in our pursuit of justice.

Courtroom Triumph: A Defining Moment 

During a pivotal court session, the defendant presented an annex to the transport order, asserting the right to offset during trials. However, the court uncovered the consignee’s orchestrated scheme involving a forged signature – a revelation that turned the tables in our favor.

Verdict: Restitution and Beyond 👨‍⚖️

The Belarusian court’s ruling was a testament to justice prevailing. The withheld sum was ordered to be restored, accompanied by interest from the decision’s legal enforcement until payment. Armed with the court’s binding decision, we are prepared to take necessary steps, if required, to ensure our client’s rights are upheld.

Continued Progress: Enforcing Justice ⚖️

Our commitment doesn’t end with the verdict. We’ve successfully initiated the procedure for enforcing the legal decision before a Bailiff in Belarus, reinforcing our dedication to justice.

Industry Impact: A New Precedent

This triumph sets a remarkable precedent in the transportation sector. It serves as a stark reminder that substantiating claims with irrefutable evidence is paramount, and unfounded claims are unlawful – a message the court’s decision reinforces.

Championing Rights: A Collective Endeavor

While our partner’s unwavering dedication contributed significantly to this achievement, we recognize that this victory is a result of collective teamwork and expertise. This success resonates not just for our client but for all carriers and freight forwarders confronting analogous challenges.

In Conclusion: A Resounding Victory 🏁

Our victory in the courtroom echoes our dedication to championing the rights of carriers and freight forwarders globally. This triumph emboldens us to continue advocating for justice, not only within familiar jurisdictions but also in foreign courts.
