In Virginia, the accident must be unique to the job. So falling down steps or off a curb will not be covered unless there is something special about it- For example, you were carrying a box, the curb was defective, the lights weren't working so you could see,etc. For more information, go to my website at injuredworkerslawfirm.com.
