## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Queensland latent-onset compensation depends on work over time, and no prescribed industrial-history form was opened.

- What the AI does: Build a table of each employer, the dust, the state of the workplace and the start and end dates, for a latent-onset compensation claim or an employer damages claim.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer uses the history to decide whether a latent-onset claim, an employer damages claim, or both, can be advanced.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The WorkCover latent-onset page treats pneumoconiosis and other latent onset injuries as developing because of work over time.
2. No prescribed industrial-history form was opened. Do not invent fields.
3. A dust-related condition is outside the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 under s 6(3)(b). The history still has to identify the employer if chapter 5 damages are in view.
4. Record the dust type. Schedule 2 of the Civil Liability Act 2003 is the definition used by the limitation section.

## Notes

- The section number for a non-terminal pneumoconiosis lump sum was not opened.
- This is an exposure history, not the file chronology.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: WorkCover Queensland latent-onset injuries

**Deliverable**: An employer and dust table for a latent-onset claim.

**Inputs**

- Employment records
- Diagnosis
- Dust type

**Example**: Illustrative example: The worker had three employers, only one in Queensland, and the dust was silica. The tool keeps the Queensland employer separate. The lawyer decides whether that employment can support a latent-onset claim.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A row has no document.
- The output treats every employer as the defendant without a record.
