OPINION
JAMES F. QUEENAN, Jr., Bankruptcy Judge.
Cross motions for summary judgment present the question of whether an employee with an injury compensable under workers’ compensation law has a claim against his employer which is nondischargeable in the employer’s bankruptcy due to the employer’s failure to maintain workers' compensation insurance. More specifically, the case turns upon whether the damage claim is “for willful and malicious injury” to “property” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(6), the “property” consisting of the employee’s insurance rights.
