## 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 | One row per job or exposure note in the file. Columns are the dates printed, the employer, the substance named, and the document. Copy the words. Do not state when a limitation period started. |
| What the lawyer must review | Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003(a) is two years for personal injury except as §§ 16.010, 16.0031, and 16.0045 provide. Those exception sections were not opened, so no occupational-disease period is stated. A claim against the United States follows 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b). You decide accrual. The chronology is an index. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per job or exposure note in the file. Columns are the dates printed, the employer, the substance named, and the document. Copy the words. Do not state when a limitation period started.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not invent a latency period or a dust-disease statute. None was opened.
- Exposure notes can be health information. Keep them out of a public tool.
