For an injured employee to collect workers' compensation, the requirement is essentially centered around the occurrence of a work-related injury rather than establishing fault or negligence. Workers' compensation is designed to provide benefits to employees who are injured in the course of their employment, without the need for the injured party to demonstrate that their employer was negligent or at fault for the injury.

This system is known as a "no-fault" insurance model, meaning that as long as the injury is work-related, the employee is typically entitled to receive benefits. This includes medical expenses and wage loss benefits, regardless of the circumstances that led to the injury.

In the context of the other options, proof of negligence by the employer or another worker is not a requirement for claiming workers' compensation, nor is there a necessity to prove the injury occurred on-site, as long as it is related to job duties. Thus, the correct answer reflects the principle that employees can pursue compensation without needing to establish fault.
