Moving Tips: Your Rights When Furniture Gets Damaged

When moving, it's crucial to understand your rights regarding furniture damage. Here's what you need to know.

In case of damage, moving companies typically compensate with the current, not new, value of your furniture. To claim, deduct the damage amount from the invoice or request a refund and provide photos of the damage.

Liability can be complex. If a moving company scratches your furniture more than eight days post-move, they might not be responsible. Even if the scratch is recent, they may not be liable if their terms exclude slight negligence. For navigating such legal issues, the 'Hesch gwüsst?' format offers helpful guidance.

When moving, ensure you're aware of your rights regarding furniture damage. Keep records, claim promptly, and understand the company's liability terms. If in doubt, seek legal advice.
