When you hire a moving company, they take responsibility for ensuring your goods arrive safely and not damaged or broken. But some moving companies can end up damaging your items, accidentally or due to carelessness, and you may decide to file a claim against them to recover the cost of replacing or fixing any damaged items. In order to make a claim against your moving company for damages to your items during the move, you should first collect evidence of the damage so you can use this evidence to support your claim. You will then need to draft the claim and file it within the appropriate time to ensure your claim is processed.
