Exclusion and reduction of responsibility

A person who, in a state of unconsciousness or in a state of pathological mental disturbance precluding the free exercise of will, inflicts damage on another person is not responsible for such damage. If they have temporarily induced a state of this type by imbibing alcoholic beverages or similar means, then they are responsible for damages that they unlawfully cause in this state as if they were at fault for negligence; the responsibility does not ensue if they came into this state without fault.
