United States Ninth Circuit
Pacific Indemnity Co. v. Pickens Kane Moving and Storage Co., 09-17824
In an action for carrier liability under the Carmack Amendment, 49 U.S.C. section 14706, judgment is affirmed where higher than released tariff set by the Surface Transportation Board in cases where a shipper elects the full value protection option but neglects to write a valuation figure on the bill of lading is accorded deference and award of costs was not an abuse of discretion.
