Instructions
for presentation of loss/damage claim
No claim will be considered properly presented until Forward Van Lines has received the completed claim, signed by the claimant, accompanied by the required documents, and indicating a demand for a specific amount of money.
Prepare the claim in duplicate. Retain one copy for your record.
- Inventory Number: Whenever possible indicate the corresponding “number” shown on the mover’s inventory. On packed items, indicate the container number.
- Description of Articles: Describe each item for which a claim is being made. If missing items are claimed, identify them as accurately and completely as possible.
- Nature of Claim: Indicate the type, severity, and location of the damage on each article.
- Age of Item
- Item Weight
Amount Claimed: If a claim is for damage enter only the cost of repairing if known. If a claim is for loss, enter the replacement cost of missing items.
On Claims for damages to household goods items, we require estimates for the repair of the items damaged. Whenever possible, repair estimates should be made by an appliance/furniture repair firm on their letterhead.
Surveys are required on all claims exceeding $1000.00 in damages. However, surveys have to be authorized first.
Only fully substantiated claims can be honored and processed.
Do not delay your claim submission pending your receipt or repair estimate or other supporting documents. If all required documents are not immediately available they may be subsequently submitted.
All claims must be submitted directly to Forward Van lines, 999 NW 10th Terrace, Suite # 3, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311.
The claim process may take 2 to 8 weeks.
