Blake worked for West Oregon Lumber Company

as a wood sorter. In violation of Oregon law, the

company did not carry workers' compensation

insurance. While sorting wood on a table, Blake

knocked a very heavy piece off, and it fell and

hit his foot. Blake sued the employer for negli-

gence as the pieces for sorting should have been

small enough to handle properly. The lumber

company asserted contributory negligence as an

employer's defense. Will Blake win?
