## 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 missing date ranges, duplicate pages, and providers named in a record who have no records in the set. Do not guess what the missing record says. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide which gaps matter and which providers to subpoena. The records are PHI under 45 C.F.R. § 164.502 if a covered entity or business associate holds them, and they are confidential under Model Rule 1.6 in any event. Formal Opinion 512: a tool's gap list is a lead, and you verify it against the file. Rule 26(b)(1) proportionality governs how far discovery goes once a case is filed. |
