Has anyone filed a claim against a moving company for damage during a move?

I was renting a house and when the Semi rolled into the driveway, they took out half a birch tree. Since it wasn't technically my property, my landlord was supposed to file a claim. I gave him all the filled out paperwork and all he had to do was sign it. He never did. 10 months later when I moved, the asshole deducted $300 from my damage deposit for the tree.

My property damage was significant and very emotional. I got a check for about $5,000 and that didn't cover our losses but that's a 'nother story....

CPT (Join to see) I moved a year ago. The moving company came flooded half the house when a mover flushed a toilet and did not tell me. They banged up the walls, put the furniture together incorrectly and did not handle our furniture with care. I submitted a claim for damaged furniture, missing boxes, etc. My claim was itemized. For example my extension ladder was missing, so I submitted an item for the ladder, and the cost to rent a Home Depot truck the get the ladder home. My list was detailed and included pictures. I had to fight them tooth and nail, and was awarded the claim minus the $2500 deductible for the flooded house damage. File with pictures and a detailed itemized list. I wish you luck. Moving companies are a pain to deal with.

Yep. My move from Texas to Iowa in 2002, Used a national carrier. Some things were damaged, but reparable. Some things were broken beyond repair. Lots of forms to fill out and I had to wait until an agent of the company resided to my new home before I found effectively unpack. The settlement process was long and drawn out, but I also put a hold on my check. Eventually, I came out of it to my satisfaction. Of course, I will never use that company again. But, then, I anticipate that my next and last move will be out the front door, feet first, so what do I care???
