Key legal question
Whether the burns resulted from an accident or from intentional self-inflicted injury/suicide attempt
Extracted holding
The injury was not shown to be an accidental, involuntary event; it was more likely an intentional ignition and not a covered accident.
Extracted reasoning
The technical report excluded the claimant's accidental-cigarette version, and the medical evidence did not support a suicidal act but also did not establish an accident. On the balance of probabilities, intentional self-ignition had to be assumed; thus the injury was not involuntary.
