## 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 | Record the injury date, the employer, the place, and whether the caller describes federal civilian or maritime work. Do not say the caller is eligible, and write no sentence of advice. |
| What the lawyer must review | 5 U.S.C. § 8102 and 33 U.S.C. § 905 are the federal compensation statutes opened. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003(a) is two years for a personal-injury suit, with the exceptions named in that subsection. A claim against the United States follows 28 U.S.C. § 2401(b). You decide eligibility. State scheme rules were not opened. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Record the injury date, the employer, the place, and whether the caller describes federal civilian or maritime work. Do not say the caller is eligible, and write no sentence of advice.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not give the caller a deadline. Section 16.003 is Texas, and health-care liability may sit in another chapter that was not opened.
- There is no national motor-accident scheme in the sources opened.
