Has your shipment arrived broken, incomplete or late, have the removal company ruined your furniture, or are the carrier and its insurer passing the blame back and forth? In the Balearic Islands almost everything travels by ship and lorry, and every link in the chain blames the one before. You need an expert report that proves where and why the damage happened, who is liable and what it is worth. And that stands up in court.
How we can help
- Damaged or lost goods in road haulage, domestic or international (CMR).
- Sea freight between the mainland and the islands: damage to containers, trailers and lorries carried on ferries.
- Late delivery: losses caused by goods arriving late, in high season or for a building project or event.
- Removals gone wrong: furniture, artwork and belongings broken or missing, and the value of what was lost.
- Cold chain: refrigerated goods arriving spoiled, and what the temperature records show.
- Vehicles in transit: cars, motorbikes or boats damaged on car transporters or while being shipped to the Balearics.
- Accidents involving lorries and coaches: accident reconstruction, tachograph and driving hours.
- Disputes with the insurer: damage assessment, cause of the loss or notes on the delivery note.

- We review them and send you a fixed, written, no-obligation quote.
- Inspection of the goods or vehicle, if needed, in Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza or Formentera.
- Expert report: clear and signed, showing at which stage the damage occurred, why, who is liable and what it is worth.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the report take? It depends on the case. We give you the date in the quote, and if there is a court deadline, we work to it.
Do I have to go anywhere? No. Everything is done by email or WhatsApp; the inspection, if needed, takes place where the goods or vehicle are.
What should I do if I have just received damaged goods? Write specific reservations on the delivery note, take photos before moving anything and keep the packaging. Notify the carrier in writing as soon as possible.
How long do I have to make a claim? Time limits in transport are short and depend on the type of carriage and the contract. It is best not to wait.
