1. “The workers’ compensation statutory scheme operates as a substitute for civil claims that an employee could assert against his or her employer in an action at common law and provides liability “coverage” against the risks that arise from those kinds of claims. Hale v. Port of Portland, 308 Or. 508, 521 , 783 P.2d 506 [, 513] (1989) (“[T]he Oregon Legislature ... eliminated the haphazard system of liability of employers to some employees for some injuries occurring under a limited number of circumstances, and replaced it with a system that made employers liable for the medical expenses of their injured workers without regard to fault.”); Errand v. Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Inc., 320 Or. 509, 514 , 888 P.2d 544 [, 546] (1995) (explaining that the workers’ compensation system replaced the civil remedy system with a quid pro quo that gives workers a remedy without proving fault, in exchange for the exclusivity of that remedy). The workers’ compensation law defines “compensability” in terms of the work-related injuries, disease, disabilities, conditions, and/or death for which an employee or his or her representatives can recover.”
