Syllabus

CARRIER LIABILITY – CARMACK AMENDMENT – EVIDENCE – DAMAGES: The trial court erred in holding defendant carriers liable under the Carmack Amendment for damages to two CNC computer machines where plaintiff buyer of the machines, which had hired defendants to transport the machines, failed to prove that the machines were delivered to the carriers in good condition, and so failed to demonstrate a prima facie case of carrier liability. The trial court did not err in awarding plaintiff buyer damages for chip conveyors, which were damaged by the carriers' negligence, and for missing components for the CNC machines.
