How liable is FedEx for cargo lost in the plane crash earlier today?
Also, it seems the plane was not owned by FedEx but was owned and operated by a subcontractor. Does this in any way change the legal situation at hand? Does this make the subcontractor liable?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

>>Just as a query, how do Fedex handle the multitude of insurance claims for the cargo and many legal documents on board the aircraft. I sent some very important legal documents by Fedex that were routed to Tallahasee via Memphis the day before the crash. I would think it would be a nightmare sorting out the various claims.<<
From FedEx's Terms and Conditions which you probably signed off on with the airbill when you sent the documents:
"The Warsaw Convention limits our liability for loss or delay of or damage to your shipment, unless you declare a higher value for carriage and pay the required fee as described below. The interpretation of the Warsaw Convention's liability limits may vary depending on the destination country. If the Warsaw Convention as amended by Montreal Protocol No. 4 applies to your shipment, FedEx's liability is limited to 17 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) per kilo, unless you declare a higher value for carriage and pay the required fee. Otherwise, FedEx's liability is limited to US$9.07 per pound ($20.38 per kilo) unless you declare a higher value for carriage and pay the required fee. "

Just as bad as airlines. Makes you never want to entrust your things to anyone.
