Draft the pre-action notice or statutory claim form from the instructions
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- The claimant certifies the answers as true — in Queensland by statutory declaration under the Oaths Act signed before an eligible witness, in New South Wales by a declaration carrying the Crimes Act penalty — so the tool writes nothing into the notice or claim form, and do not choose the form version or decide which scheme applies. The lawyer completes every answer with the client. Index the attachments against the lawyer's completed form. Compile a strictly tabular, source-tagged treatment-and-earnings chronology from the medical and earnings records — one row per event giving date, event and source document, ordered by date rather than in the order the form's questions run, and no narrative. Compare each declared answer with the proofing note and the treatment records, list the answers that still have no source, and check the mandatory questions, any reasonable excuse for late notice, and the declaration and signing requirements against the blank form and guidance notes the lawyer has downloaded.
- What the lawyer must review
- Download the current form and guidance notes from the scheme at the date of lodgement and confirm the correct scheme and respondent. Take every declared answer from the client in the client's own words, and check the tool's chronology against the records it cites. Read the completed form through with the client, and confirm the declaration is signed as the downloaded form directs, and witnessed where that scheme requires a witness, before it is lodged or given to the insurer.
