"Transportation Insurance in Plain English"
or
"So You Think Your Freight is Insured"

William J. Augello, Esq.
(1985)

This book is not just about insurance!  It is for traffic managers and private fleet managers who think their cargo is covered by their carrier's liability or that their carriers are insured . It's also for carriers who think they are insured, for brokers & shipper's agents who think they can't be liable for cargo losses, and for insurers who think they know what carrier liability is and what their subrogation rights are in today's transportation market!

Contains:

• A comprehensive discussion of the various kinds of insurance available; what they cover and what they don't -- the common exceptions and exclusions in policies..

• The risks and insurable interests of transportation intermediaries (brokers, shipper's agents, shipper associations, consolidators, forwarders, etc.).

• What's wrong with relying on "certificates of insurance - and what to do about it! 

• The BMC 32 endorsement and how to collect claims from carriers' and forwarders' insurers.

• 400 pages of job-oriented, easy-to-read material on domestic cargo insurance contracts.

• 200 pages of appendices consisting of sample cargo policies, forms, laws, regulations, rulings, charts and information sources, plus an extensive topical index and table of court decisions that make this text a valuable reference work.
