     65B.60 Intentional injuries.  


    A person intentionally causing or attempting to cause 
 injury to self or another person is disqualified from basic or 
 optional economic loss benefits for injury arising from those 
 acts, including benefits otherwise due the person as a 
 survivor.  If a person dies as a result of intentionally causing 
 or attempting to cause injury to self, survivors are not 
 entitled to basic or optional economic loss benefits for loss 
 arising from the death.  A person intentionally causes or 
 attempts to cause injury if the person acts or fails to act for 
 the purpose of causing injury or with knowledge that injury is 
 substantially certain to follow.  A person does not 
 intentionally cause or attempt to cause injury (1) merely 
 because the act or failure to act is intentional or done with 
 the realization that it creates a grave risk of causing injury 
 or (2) if the act or omission causing the injury is for the 
 purpose of averting bodily harm to the person or another person.
