| 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 | From the registration search, accident place and police report the lawyer selects, list each vehicle, where it is registered, and the insurer or nominal body named on that search. Do not choose the recipient. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which insurer or nominal body must receive the claim. A search result is a lead. Confirm it against the policy or the scheme register. Do not send the claim until that recipient is checked. Health, wage and scheme records stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable. |

## 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: From the registration search, accident place and police report the lawyer selects, list each vehicle, where it is registered, and the insurer or nominal body named on that search. Do not choose the recipient.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which insurer or nominal body must receive the claim. A search result is a lead. Confirm it against the policy or the scheme register. Do not send the claim until that recipient is checked. Health, wage and scheme records stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable.
- 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. Tie each vehicle to the registration search or police report the lawyer marked.
2. Record the accident place and the injured person's connection with the vehicle before naming a recipient.
3. Do not treat a search hit as the recipient until the lawyer confirms it.
4. Keep a second possible recipient on the table where more than one vehicle is involved.

## 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.
