A claim against a household mover for loss or damage of goods shall not be denied solely because the lost or damaged goods were not noted at the time of delivery. Whenever a household mover requires a signed statement acknowledging delivery and receipt of goods, the statement shall not include any representation that the goods were delivered in satisfactory condition, but shall include a notice that the shipper may file a claim with the household mover for lost or damaged goods.

(Added by Stats. 2017, Ch. 421, Sec. 8. (SB 19) Effective January 1, 2018.)
