## 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 | Table the employer, the place of injury, and whether the file describes a federal civilian employee or maritime employment. Write no sentence of a dispute submission. |
| What the lawyer must review | 5 U.S.C. § 8102 pays compensation for disability or death of an employee from personal injury in the performance of duty, unless caused by willful misconduct, by intent to bring about the injury or death, or proximately by intoxication. 33 U.S.C. § 905(a) makes the employer's liability exclusive where that chapter applies, unless compensation is not secured. Subsection (b) is the vessel-negligence action, with the bars it states for shipbuilding, repairing, and breaking. You decide which statute applies. No national motor-accident scheme was opened. |

## Checking plan

- Section 8102(b) is a war-risk and detention rule. It is not the ordinary duty test.
