Question: Downstate Medical Center hired Purolator Courier to transport a computer valued at $4,509 from the hospital to a store in Manhattan. The bill of lading stated that the carrier was not liable for more than $250 for loss or nondelivery. There was proof that the carrier was grossly negligent, and the hospital claimed that the limitation of liability was invalid. Was this claim correct? (Downstate Medical Center v. Purolator Courier Corp., N.Y. 138 Misc.2d 714)
