1. The commission agent shall be held accountable for the destruction of the item carried, in full or in part, any damage suffered thereby or the delayed delivery of such goods. The commission agent may not deny such liability unless he proves a force majeure event, an inherent defect of the goods or a fault of the principal or the consignee. 2. In case of passenger carriage, the commission agent shall be liable for the delayed arrival and for such bodily or non-bodily injuries as are suffered by the passenger in the course of the carriage contract. The commission agent may not deny his liability, except by proving a force majeure event or a fault committed by the passenger. The commission agent's liability for passenger's death or bodily injury shall be limited to the blood money amount for manslaughter, pursuant to the statutes in force in the State. However, such amount may be agreed to be specified in an amount in an amount less than such blood money amount. 3. In all cases, the commission agent may have recourse against the carrier where such recourse is well-grounded.
