Cargo Damage

Legal Help with Cargo Damage Claims

South Carolina Transportation Law Attorney

Goods and merchandise are imported and exported daily from ports all over the world. Admiralty and maritime laws apply to cargo transportation problems, regardless of where the cargo damage occurred. If a carrier, such as a truck, barge or train, has caused damage to your cargo, you need effective legal representation from an experienced admiralty and maritime attorney.

The Bluestein Law Firm, P.A., in Charleston, South Carolina, focuses on transportation law and represents clients who need to make transportation claims regarding lost, damaged or stolen cargo in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland and other areas of the United States.

To learn more about how a skilled maritime law attorney can represent you in a marine insurance dispute regarding damaged cargo, contact our Charleston transportation law attorney. We offer clients a free initial consultation to discuss specific needs and concerns.

Damaged or Stolen Goods

Maritime shipping lawyer S. Scott Bluestein represents shippers of damaged merchandise ranging from perfume and liquor to electronics and light bulbs. When merchandise is lost, damaged, stolen or otherwise tampered with, we represent shippers in the insurance claim.

Claims for damages are not limited to the sea. Damage can occur while in transit on a truck, barge or rail car. Our transportation law attorney is intimately familiar with federal maritime and transportation statutes.

We represent clients during a subrogation recovery. This dispute occurs between insurance companies who are concerned with determining liability for damage. A subrogation claim can be done without placing a financial burden on the shipper.

To speak with an attorney regarding goods that were damaged, lost or stolen at sea, contact a maritime transportation law attorney at the Bluestein Law Firm.
