Agent
One who, under an agency’s authority, performs a duty or function on an agency’s behalf, subject to its direction and control. Direction and control include the method, manner, means, location, and timing of the duty or function.
Tort
Tort is defined by statute as the breach of a legal duty that is imposed by law, other than a duty arising from contract or quasi-contract, the breach of which results in injury to a specific person or persons for which the law provides a civil right of action for damages or for a protective remedy (key requirements emphasized).
For most matters of legal liability, the state is not insured. It is self-insured. Under ORS Chapter 278 and ORS 30.260-300, the state pays its own cost of resolving tort liability claims. State self-insurance pays the state’s legal liability for torts and defends against claims that appear false or unfounded. The services described in this policy are provided to state agencies, officers, employees, and agents of that state agency.
