2006 Minnesota Statutes

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.
