A trucking company can act as a 'common carrier' - for hire to the general
public at published rates. As a common carrier, the trucking company is liable
for any cargo damage, unless the company can show that it was not negligent.
If the company can demonstrate that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
for cargo damage. In contrast, a 'contract carrier' ( a trucking company hired
by a shipper under a specific contract) is only responsible for cargo damage
spelled out in the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common
carrier authority, was in a 5-vehivle accident that damaged its cargo. A Nichlos
Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under contract carrier authority, was involved in the
same accident, and its cargo was also damaged.

reference to the accident:
A) If Claus Inc. is liable, then it can show that it was not negligent ✔️Ans -C)
If Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable

Often, crimes are characterized as either "malum in se"-inherently evil-or
"malum prohibitum"-criminal because they are declared as offenses by a
legislature. Murder is an example of the former. Failing to file a tax return

"malum in se" and "malum prohibitum", although many still do.
