## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List date, provider, diagnosis or procedure, and the page, using only words that appear in the records. Leave a gap where a date is missing. Do not score impairment or give a prognosis. |
| What the lawyer must review | The chronology is a working paper. Treatment records are protected health information. 45 C.F.R. § 164.502 prohibits a covered entity or business associate from using or disclosing PHI except as the Privacy Rule permits or requires. A firm that is not a covered entity still owes Model Rule 1.6: do not put the records into a public tool. Formal Opinion 512 requires review of tool output. You read the records before the chronology is used in advice or a filing. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List date, provider, diagnosis or procedure, and the page, using only words that appear in the records. Leave a gap where a date is missing. Do not score impairment or give a prognosis.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- There is no national compulsory third-party scheme. Fault, no-fault benefits, and workers' compensation are state law, or a federal compensation statute if one applies.
- Do not drop records into a consumer chatbot. Opinion 512 treats confidentiality as a Rule 1.6 question.
