(a) Unless the carrier and shipper agree in writing
to a higher limit of carrier liability, a household goods carrier's
liability for loss or damage of property shall be $.60 per pound per
article. Claims for loss or damage of property may be settled based
on the weight of the article multiplied by $.60.
(b) If the carrier and shipper have agreed in writing
to a higher limit of liability, the carrier may charge the shipper
for this higher limit of liability. If the agreement between the carrier
and shipper to a higher limit of liability provides for a deductible,
the carrier's liability to pay for loss or damage of property will
be reduced by the amount of the deductible.
