10A Total exclusion: workers compensation
No benefits are payable under this Act for a person's injury or death
in, or as a result of, a motor accident if the injury or death:
(a) is compensable under workers compensation legislation; or

person's injury or death:
(i) was deliberately self-inflicted; or
(ii) is attributable to the person's serious and wilful
misconduct.
