## 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 | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the injury date, any death date, the date any claim was presented, and the date of any written denial. Write no sentence of the notice or the claim form. |
| What the lawyer must review | Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003(a) bars a personal-injury suit later than two years after accrual, except as §§ 16.010, 16.0031, and 16.0045 provide. Subsection (b) is two years from death for wrongful death. A tort claim against the United States is under 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b): present the claim within two years, or sue within six months after the notice of final denial is mailed. No pre-action notice period was opened. You write the form and you decide accrual. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the injury date, any death date, the date any claim was presented, and the date of any written denial. Write no sentence of the notice or the claim form.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Section 16.003 is Texas. Health-care liability may sit in another chapter. That chapter was not opened, so no health-care period is stated.
- Section 2401(a) is a six-year period for civil actions against the United States other than the tort path in subsection (b). Do not swap them.
