MaintainedLast reviewed
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the plan, the supports since the injury and the proposed settlement, list the supports that relate to the injury and the settlement heads that may cover the same needs. The tool does not decide the effect on the plan or send the notice.
- What the lawyer must review
- The NDIA gives Transport Accident Commission and WorkSafe supports as examples of statutory-scheme compensation.
- Tell the NDIA of compensation received or a claim in progress. The plan can continue while the claim is open.
- The NDIA says it cannot replace a support the scheme already provides. The lawyer decides what that means here.
- Keep plan and medical records in a firm-controlled tool. Apply ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the notifiable-breach test.
