Business and Professions Code section 19265


A claim against a household mover for loss or damage of goods shall not be denied solely because the lost or damaged goods were not noted at the time of delivery. Whenever a household mover requires a signed statement acknowledging delivery and receipt of goods, the statement shall not include any representation that the goods were delivered in satisfactory condition, but shall include a notice that the shipper may file a claim with the household mover for lost or damaged goods.
