LIMITATIONS OF A CARRIER’S PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY POLICIES:

Examples of limitations and exclusions:

• Weight limitations – pertaining to the CMR Convention, a road carrier is responsible for cargo up to SDR 8.33 per kilogram. It means that compensation under OCP for a lost laptop weighing 1.8 kilograms will amount to PLN 72. Similar limitations are also effective for railway, air and marine cargo transportation.
• Exclusion of liability in the general terms and conditions of insurance, for instance major violation of the provisions of the traffic code, losses caused by force majeure, loading and unloading of cargo. Claims related to the above-mentioned reasons will not be paid.
• Payment of compensation depends on conditions relating to the parking lot of a vehicle and the protection of a vehicle that must be fulfilled by the carrier.
• Long period of time until disbursement of compensation under professional liability policy.
