## 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 | In a firm-controlled tool, list each defendant, whether the company is deregistered, whether the other defendants have settled, and whether the settlement terms bar recovery against the others. The tool does not write an insurer claim or a deed. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether to seek restoration, oppose dismissal, or pursue another defendant. A claim against the insurer of a deregistered company is a separate task. Read the settlement terms before treating other defendants as still open. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: In a firm-controlled tool, list each defendant, whether the company is deregistered, whether the other defendants have settled, and whether the settlement terms bar recovery against the others. The tool does not write an insurer claim or a deed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether to seek restoration, oppose dismissal, or pursue another defendant. A claim against the insurer of a deregistered company is a separate task. Read the settlement terms before treating other defendants as still open.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check company status against a register search, not the table alone.
2. Read the settlement clause before marking other defendants as still open.
3. Confirm the output contains no insurer claim and no deed.
4. Confirm Victoria and Queensland are not given the New South Wales dismissal path.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- The Dust Diseases Tribunal practice-notes index opened on 23 October 2026 has no generative AI note. Do not treat a Supreme Court generative AI note as the Tribunal rule. Do not enter confidential information into a public tool.
- Preparing a claim against the liability insurer of an insolvent or deregistered defendant is a separate live task.
