1. “"It is undisputed that defendant was both an officer and employee of Coos Head. It is also undisputed that, in his supervision of the decedent, defendant was acting in his capacity as president of Coos Head . Accordingly, defendant is exempt from liability under ORS 656.018, and plaintiffs' exclusive remedy is under the Workers' Compensation Act. " Plaintiffs contend that their claims are against defendant as an individual and as the owner and person in control of the loader, not in his capacity as an officer or employee of Coos Head. Even so, defendant is entitled to the exemption provided by ORS 656.018, because he is both an officer and employee of the decedent's employer, and the decedent was injured in the course and scope of his employment . Compare Perkins v. Gehlar , 107 Or. App. 158 , 811 P.2d 650 , rev. dismissed , 312 Or. 554 [ 821 P.2d 1093 ] (1991)."”
