A quick definition of last-injurious-exposure rule:

The last-injurious-exposure rule is a legal principle that determines which employer is responsible for compensating a worker who has suffered an occupational injury or illness. According to this rule, the employer who exposed the worker to the harmful substance or condition just before the onset of the injury or illness is liable for the damages. This rule is also known as the last-employer rule and is commonly used in workers' compensation cases.

A more thorough explanation:

The last-injurious-exposure rule, also known as the last-employer rule, is a legal doctrine that determines liability for occupational injuries or illnesses. According to this rule, the employer who exposed the worker to the harmful substance just before the onset of the disease or injury is responsible for providing compensation.

For example, if a worker was exposed to asbestos while working for Company A, but did not develop mesothelioma until working for Company B, the last-injurious-exposure rule would hold Company B responsible for providing workers' compensation benefits.

This rule is commonly used in workers' compensation cases to determine which employer is responsible for providing benefits to an injured worker. It helps to ensure that workers receive the compensation they need to cover medical expenses and lost wages resulting from workplace injuries or illnesses.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
