DALLAS, TX – AM Moving Company, a leader among moving companies Texas residents trust, is releasing new guidance to help families understand their coverage options before moving day. As the state’s population grows, the company aims to eliminate confusion regarding liability and asset protection.
The Two Levels of Protection
Under Texas law, movers must offer two primary types of coverage:
Released Value Protection (RVP): This basic coverage is provided at no extra cost. It covers items at $0.60 per pound, per item. For instance, a 100lb dresser is covered for $60, regardless of its original price.
Full Value Protection (FVP): A more comprehensive option where the mover is liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods. This provides the highest level of security for your belongings.
What Is Not Covered?
AM Moving Company warns that certain situations typically void standard liability:
Owner-Packed Boxes: If you pack it yourself and the box arrives undamaged, the mover is generally not liable for broken contents.
High-Value Items: Antiques or electronics worth over $100 per pound must be declared separately.
Natural Disasters: "Acts of God" like extreme Texas weather are often excluded.
"Our goal is transparency," says AM Moving Company. "Whether you need local movers or long distance movers, knowing your coverage ensures there are no surprises during a claim."
