Map a death or dependency claim under the safety-defect statute
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the documents the lawyer selects, list the person who died or was injured, each person said to have suffered loss because of the injury or death, and whether the file describes a business or professional relationship with the injured person. Do not write the advice and do not name a state dependency statute.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide who may claim under s 138(3), s 139 and s 145. The lawyer writes the advice.
- Do not use section 139 for loss from a business or professional relationship.
- Do not name a state death or survival section. Those laws are picked up and their sections were not opened.
- Keep health and wage records in a firm-controlled tool.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the documents the lawyer selects, list the person who died or was injured, each person said to have suffered loss because of the injury or death, and whether the file describes a business or professional relationship with the injured person. Do not write the advice and do not name a state dependency statute. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |

- Do not name a state fatal-accidents or survival section that has not been opened.
- Do not finish the personal-representative discoverability rule in s 87G(6) from an incomplete reading.
