Workers' compensation

The state of Oregon provides coverage for work-related injuries and diseases of the state's employees and some of its volunteers. Work-related means the employee or volunteer was performing duties within course and scope of their employment. Some of the benefits
include payment for lost wages and medical costs. It can also pay benefits to dependents of an employee or volunteer that suffers a work-related fatality.
