Benefits are denied when injury or death is due to intoxication or being under the influence of a controlled substance, unless prescribed by a physician; refusal to test, or alcohol test taken within 3 hours of accident showing BAC of 0.08 or a positive drug-test within 8 hours of accident, creates a rebuttable presumption that the injury was caused by alcohol or drug use.
