                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

FOREIGN INJURIES (§ 65.2-508)

A. When an accident happens while the employee is employed elsewhere than in
this Commonwealth which would entitle him or his dependents to compensation if
it had happened in this Commonwealth, the employee or his dependents shall be
entitled to compensation, if:

   1. The contract of employment was made in this Commonwealth; and

   2. The employer&#8217;s place of business is in this Commonwealth;
   				provided the contract of employment was not expressly for service
   exclusively outside of the Commonwealth.

B. However, if an employee shall receive compensation or damages under the laws
of any other state, nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to permit
a total compensation for the same injury greater than is provided for in this
title.
