It might seem that only an experienced lawyer is aware of all the moving rights and responsibilities that your relocation might involve. In reality, we all should know the legal aspect of a move. Not only it might save us nerve and money, but it will also make the move more efficient and smooth.
All moving companies must provide you with a booklet ‘Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move’. That is created by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
When you receive it from your mover, read it attentively. You will know what types of insurance a moving company can cover, what you can do to limit a mover’s liability of your goods, the difference between a binding estimate and a non-binding estimate, and more. Under federal law, each mover must give you the ‘Rights and Responsibilities” booklet, here you can find our summary of it.
Before you move make sure you read the booklet created by the FMCSA. There are more items there that we haven’t mentioned here such as requirements for the “Bill of lading”, important information about the delivery receipt, and much more. Don’t forget to make sure the moving company you select gives you your “Rights and responsibilities”! Find out your moving company’s DOT number to make sure you do deal with a fake mover. Some moves offer short o long-term storage as a part of their relocation offer. That is a good option if you plan to restyle your new residence before settling in.
