Recognises the commercial needs of professional transport operators to be insured for loss or damage to goods they carry without the need to prove liability. Zurich will pay the owner of the goods or livestock for loss, damage or death caused by an insured event when the carrier requests us to. Zurich offers a policy specifically designed for;

• Carriers operating under conditions of carriage with a full disclaimer clause who wish to have the ability to make commercial settlements to their clients when they might not be liable.
• Carriers operating without a consignment note or conditions of carriage but who require protection for claims made against them whether or not they may be liable for the loss.
