self-inflicted

self-inflicted
Upon oneself by oneself. Under a compensation statute which excludes only those injuries which are purposely self-inflicted, it is not enough that the employee merely disregards some rule, regulation, or order of the master, since such conduct may constitute nothing more than ordinary negligence on the part of the employee, and mere negligence does not destroy the right to compensation. But an accident resulting from a disobedience of express orders may be one intentionally produced within the meaning of the statute. Anno: 23 ALR 1172.
