Question

We just recently moved from Ohio to Texas in the last 6 wks. For the move, we hired movers from a moving company to load our ABF trailer. ABF then transported our moving belongings to Texas. When the trailer arrived, we had numerous damaged furniture, broken boxes, etc. We checked with ABF and found there was no problems with the shippment and when our insurance looked into it, it was shown that the trailer was loaded incorrectly. The movers had put heavier furniture on top of lighter and with the weight it pushed everything forward and hence we got major damage on almost every piece of furniture. When we contacted the mover, he denied that his guys did anything wrong and said out of curtesy he'd do the 60 cents on the doller. We contacted a furniture repair company and they sent a letter stating the furniture could not be repaired. Now the mover wants to do a wavier. Is there anything we can do to get at least some of our furniture replaced or legally protect us?
