## 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, set out the opened choices side by side: what each choice assumes about a later condition, what it closes, and which source states it. The tool does not write a claim or a notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether to seek provisional damages, a later application, or a terminal lump sum. Do not state a dollar amount. The Act definition of a Queensland terminal condition was not opened. A choice the client signs or receives is settled by the lawyer before it goes out. |

## 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, set out the opened choices side by side: what each choice assumes about a later condition, what it closes, and which source states it. The tool does not write a claim or a notice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether to seek provisional damages, a later application, or a terminal lump sum. Do not state a dollar amount. The Act definition of a Queensland terminal condition was not opened. A choice the client signs or receives is settled by the lawyer before it goes out.
- 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 each choice against the section or page cited, not against another state's rule.
2. Confirm no dollar amount for QOTE appears.
3. Confirm the Queensland 5-year figure is attributed to the WorkCover page, and that the Act definition is marked as not opened.
4. Confirm the Victorian further-application point is kept to silica-related disease, as the page states it.

## 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.
- A Western Australian provisional-damages statute was not applied to these three states.
