Key facts

- How AI is used
- List the person who died or was injured, and each person said to have suffered loss, including any business or professional relationship. Do not name a Queensland dependency section and do not write the advice.
- What the lawyer must review
- Write the advice. Sections 138(3) and 145 pick up Queensland's death-liability and survival laws.
- Do not name one. Those Queensland sections were not opened.
- Exclude loss from a business or professional relationship under section 139.
- Include injury resulting from death in the section 11 three-year period, for the actions it describes.
