I was wondering how long does a company have to place a claim against you for damages?
Any info would be greatly appreciated
 
I believe the usual is written intent within 48hours for "concealed damage" and up to 6 months if the POD/DR is marked damaged. after the initial intent it can be up to 12-18 months to actually "file" the claim. Written itemization on company letterhead stating the value of the claim with backup of POD/DR, original BOL and Invoice itemizing the damage goods being claimed for.
 
Notice of Claim
a) no carrier is liable for loss, damage or delay to any goods caarrier under the Bill of Lading unless notice therof, setting out particulars for the origin, destination and date of shipment of the goods and the westimated amount claimed in respect of such loss, damage or delay is given in writing to the originating carrier or the delivering carrier within sixty (60) days after the delivery of goods, or, in the case of failure to make delivery, within nine (9) months from the date of shipment together with a copy of the paid freight bill
b) the final statement of the claim must be filed within nine (9) months from the ndate of shipment together with a copy of the freight bill.
