Can I sue my moving company?

You may be able to sue the moving company after filing a claim with the company itself. You will need to prove that the moving company initially received your property in good condition; the goods were damaged upon delivery, or not delivered at all; and, the amount of damages are measurable.

Is getting your own authority worth it?
