Who knows the maximum legal limit for damage cause to the contents of your baggage during international travel?

From Continentals web site. Others are similar.

" For travel entirely within the U.S. on or after Feb. 28, 2007, Continental's liability for any form of damage as a result of loss, damage or delay in delivery of a customer's personal property shall be limited to the fair market value at the time of loss, damage or delay and will not exceed $3,000.00 per customer, except for wheelchairs and other assistive devices.

For most international travel to which the Warsaw Convention applies (including domestic portions of international travel), Continental's liability is approximately $9.07 per pound up to $640.00 maximum per bag for checked baggage and $400.00 per customer for unchecked baggage.

For most international travel to which the Montreal Convention applies (including domestic portions of international travel), Continental's liability is approximately $1,375.00 maximum per customer for checked and unchecked baggage. "

Thanks for the information. United is offering me a little over $1,500 for my broken stock.I guess I should be happy. With my insurance I may have it fully covered. It was a nice stock.
