some jurisdictions still distinguish between crimes malum in se and malum prohibitum
A trucking company can act as a common carrier—for hire to the general public at
published rates. As a common carrier, it 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 as spelled out in the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common
carrier authority, was in a 5- vehicle accident that damaged its cargo. A Nichols Inc. tractor-
trailer, acting under contract carrier authority, was involved in the same accident, and its
cargo was also damaged. - Answer -From the information given above, it can be validly
concluded that, in reference to the accident,
if Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
