Definition & Explanation

A shipper files a damage report, and claim validation processes kick in: structured workflows through which logistics providers or insurers verify whether a reported loss is legitimate, properly documented, and attributable to the correct responsible party. Validators cross-reference transport documents—bill of lading, air waybill (AWB)—with inspection reports and photographic evidence, checking everything against the applicable contract terms or policy conditions. Only once the full documentation is in order and causation has been clearly established can the claim be approved or rejected. These workflows serve a dual purpose: guarding against fraudulent submissions while ensuring that valid claims move through the system without unnecessary delay.
