Workers' compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence.

The trade-off between assured, limited coverage and lack of recourse outside the worker compensation system is known as "the compensation bargain".

One of the problems that the compensation bargain solved is the problem of employers becoming insolvent as a result of high damage awards.

The system of collective liability was created to prevent that, and thus to ensure security of compensation to the workers.

Individual immunity is the necessary corollary to collective liability.

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada.

The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary.

The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada.

It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and its proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate despite its northern latitude.

Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, or perks) include various types of non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries.

In instances where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit is generally referred to as a 'salary packaging' or 'salary exchange' arrangement.

In most countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree.

In law, liable means "[r]esponsible or answerable in law; legally obligated." Legal liability concerns both civil law and criminal law and can arise from various areas of law, such as contracts, torts, taxes, or fines given by government agencies.

The claimant is the one who seeks to establish, or prove, liability.

Claimants can prove liability through a myriad of different theories, known as theories of liability.

Which theories of liability are available in a given case depends on nature of the law in question.

For example, in case involving a contractual dispute, one available theory of liability is breach of contract; or in the tort context, negligence, negligence per se, respondeat superior, vicarious liability, strict liability, or intentional conduct are all valid theories of liability.

In the abstract, property is that which belongs to or with something, whether as an attribute or as a component of said thing.

In the context of this article, property is one or more components (rather than attributes), whether physical or incorporeal, of a person's estate; or so belonging to, as in being owned by, a person or jointly a group of people or a legal entity like a corporation or even a society.

(Given such meaning, the word property is uncountable, and as such, is not described with an indefinite article or as plural) Depending on the nature of the property, an owner of property has the right to consume, alter, share, redefine, rent, mortgage, pawn, sell, exchange, transfer, give away or destroy it, or to exclude others from doing these things, as well as to perhaps abandon it; whereas regardless of the nature of the property, the owner thereof has the right to properly use it (as a durable, mean or factor, or whatever), or at the very least exclusively keep it.
