Using the same example from the previous article of an accident with the dog food delivery, the box on the back of your truck breaks open and scatters 50 of those 100 lbs. bags all over the highway. The ice starts to melt before anyone can get there to start to clean up the mess. The dog food turns to mush in the melting ice.
Not only have you lost 80% of the value of the bags of dog food, but you're now going to get charged for the clean up. And it has to happen fast so the highway can be reopened to traffic. Your Cargo Legal Liability Coverage can cover the expense to remove debris and extract pollutants caused by the debris if your load is dumped accidentally on a roadway or waterway.
