Re: fell on employer property
Entering and leaving the Employer's place of business is covered by workers' compensation in Virginia. File your claim with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission.

Re: fell on employer property
The fact that you were not actually at your assigned work station when you were injured should make no difference at all; you clearly were on the employer's premises reporting to work when you were injured and with the status of an employee who is presumably covered by workman's compensation insurance.
That should be quite enough for you to submit your claim.
