Company transports motorcycle and delivers it damaged

The Motorcycle was transported from
Colorado to California. The bike arrived
damaged 3000 to spend on
repairs. The company uShip and
their carrier tried to mask the damage
by painting over the scratches and
glueing broken parts together. My
husband learnt about the accident only
when he was receiving the bike.
Please advice how to get the shipping
company or the carrier to fully refund
for this damage. Thank you

You can sue the company and its carrier for negligence.  Negligence is the failure to exercise due care (that degree of care that a reasonable company would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances to prevent foreseeable harm).  Your damages are the cost of repairs to the motorcycle.  You may be able to file your lawsuit in small claims court.  Upon prevailing in the case you can also recover court costs which include the court filing fee and process server fee.
