My employers sent me from my workplace to another location for a meeting. While there, I fell outside of the building. My employers say that because I was not injured "in the workplace" that my injury is not covered by worker's comp. Are they right???

On the limited information provided, it would seem this case would likely be covered under one of the "going and coming rule exceptions," which states that special employer requested errands or jobsite to jobsite injuries are covered under workers comp. The theory being the injured worker was there b/c he was directed by his employer.
