Lester Hubbard v. Reynolds Metals Company, a Delaware Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided August 28, 1973No. 26675PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Per curiam
The great weight of authority holds that the exclusivity provisions of workmen’s compensation acts do not bar common-law tort actions for negligently inflicted injury or disease if that injury or disease is not covered by the compensation act. See A. Larson, Workmen’s Compensation Law § 65.10 and eases cited; 121 A.L.R. 1143 and cases cited; Summer v. Victor Chemical Works, 298 F.2d 66, 67 (9th Cir. 1961).
It is reasonable to suppose that the Supreme Court of Oregon will adopt this view, particularly in light of the language of Reynolds v. Harbert, 232 Or. 586, 591, 375 P.2d 245, 248 (1962)…
