## 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 recording or post the lawyer has put in the file. Columns are the date on the item, the source name, and the activity described in the lawyer's existing note, copied as written. Do not describe fault and do not look for more material. |
| What the lawyer must review | Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) limits discovery to matter relevant to a claim or defense and proportional to the needs of the case. The table indexes what you already hold. Formal Opinion 512 requires you to review it before it is used. Model Rule 1.6 keeps it out of a public tool. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per recording or post the lawyer has put in the file. Columns are the date on the item, the source name, and the activity described in the lawyer's existing note, copied as written. Do not describe fault and do not look for more material.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The tool does not collect new surveillance or open a new account.
- A description in the table is not a finding that the person was uninjured.
