Court of Appeals of Oregon

1Opinion of the CourtRichardson, P. J.
This is a wrongful death action involving the exclusive liability provision of the Workers’ Compensation Act. ORS 656.018. The issue is whether that statute voids the indemnity agreements entered into between the parties to this appeal. Defendants/third-party plaintiffs appeal a judgment entered on an order dismissing their amended third-party complaint, which sought enforcement of the indemnity agreements against fourth-party defendant, a subject employer under the Workers’ Compensation Act. We hold that the agreements are void under ORS 656.018 and, therefore, we affirm.
