The vigorous development of the modern logistics industry has increasingly highlighted the importance of logistics insurance contracts. However, their unique compound characteristics have also given rise to a series of challenges in legal application. This paper aims to systematically analyze the core legal issues faced by logistics insurance contracts, mainly including the ambiguity of contract nature and legal application rules, the complexity of the determination of insurable interest and the insured subject, as well as the lack of fairness caused by standard clauses. In response to these issues, the study proposes corresponding paths for legal improvement, specifically including clarifying their legal positioning and application rules, innovating the mechanisms for determining insurable interest and the subject, and standardizing the content and interpretation principles of standard clauses. By exploring these paths, it is expected to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for promoting the standardization and healthy development of the logistics insurance market.
