| 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 police report and the searches the lawyer selects, list what was done to identify the vehicle, the dates of those steps, and which body the documents name. Do not say the search was enough. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the search is enough and who must be notified. Check each listed search against the document the lawyer selected. A late notice against a nominal body can bar the claim. Check the date. 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 police report and the searches the lawyer selects, list what was done to identify the vehicle, the dates of those steps, and which body the documents name. Do not say the search was enough.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the search is enough and who must be notified. The tool does not draft the evidence of the search that would be filed. A late notice against a nominal body can bar the claim. Check the date. 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. List each search with its date and what it found.
2. Do not say the search meets the statutory test.
3. Do not draft the evidence of the search that would be filed.
4. Flag a Nominal Defendant notice that is outside the period the source states.

## 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.
