A person intentionally causing or attempting to cause injury to himself or another person is disqualified from basic or added reparation benefits for injury arising from his acts, including benefits otherwise due him as a survivor. If a person dies as a result of intentionally causing or attempting to cause injury to himself, his survivors are not entitled to basic or added reparation benefits for loss arising from his death. A person intentionally causes or attempts to cause injury if he acts or fails to act for the purpose of causing injury. A person does not intentionally cause or attempt to cause injury merely because his act or failure to act is intentional or done with his realization that it creates a grave risk of causing injury or if the act or omission causing the injury is for the purpose of averting bodily harm to himself or another person.
