United States Seventh Circuit
AM. NAT'L FIRE INS. CO. v. YELLOW FREIGHT SYS., INC., 02-1639/1741
A shipper made a prima facie case for freight damages under the Carmack Amendment, 49 U.S.C. section 14706, which the transporter failed to rebut. Recovery is possible on freight, taxes, and fees, and insurance only for the portion of the shipment that was damaged. Compound interest should be the norm in such cases.
