With respect to the disability of a person who has caused the disability or the accident that was its cause, or has increased the degree of disability, by an intentional criminal act or gross negligence, or by failing, without justifiable grounds, to comply with instructions concerning medical treatment, payment of the benefit for which that disability is the ground for payment may be withheld in whole or in part. The same applies to the death of a person who has caused that person's own death or the accident that was its cause by an intentional criminal act or gross negligence, or by failing, without justifiable grounds, to comply with instructions concerning medical treatment.
