BARCIA LEHMANN, RODRIGO  and  RIVERA RESTREPO, JOSÉ. The Liability Action of the Insurance Company Against the Carrier or Transporter: Is an Armed Robbery an Act of God?. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.221-253.  Epub Sep 04, 2022. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n43.10.

This paper analyzes the compensation action of an insurance company, for damages to the carrier in the event that the cargo is lost due to an armed robbery. Mainly, two questions will be reviewed: (1) how does the unforeseeable or force majeure exception that the carrier opposes to the insurance company demand operate?; and (2) the origin of an autonomous compensation for damages. For the above, the Chilean doctrine and jurisprudence and comparative will be used on the points to be reviewed.

Keywords : fortuitous event; force majeure; compensation for damages; insurance; carrier.
