| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | From the employment, exposure and medical records, draft a chronology and an issues list for a Queensland dust-disease file. Cite the document for each exposure, diagnosis and notice. Flag a dust-related condition for the limitation, PIPA and Civil Liability Act exclusions. Do not advise that a specialist list or an expedited hearing is available. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check whether a statutory lump sum and a damages claim both exist. They affect each other Confirm the schedule 2 definition before treating section 11(2) as removing the period Do not send a Personal Injuries Proceedings Act notice for a dust-related condition Use a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11 and any notifiable breach |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Queensland has no dust diseases tribunal in the sources opened. The chronology marks the statutory exclusions and the lump-sum path.

- What the AI does: From the employment, exposure and medical records, draft a chronology and an issues list for a Queensland dust-disease file. Cite the document for each exposure, diagnosis and notice. Flag a dust-related condition for the limitation, PIPA and Civil Liability Act exclusions. Do not advise that a specialist list or an expedited hearing is available.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Order exposure, first symptoms, diagnosis and any terminal prognosis, each with a document.
2. Record whether the condition is said to be pneumoconiosis or another latent onset injury.
3. Flag s 11(2), PIPA s 6(3)(b) and Civil Liability Act s 5(1)(c).
4. If a terminal lump sum is paid, the WorkSafe page says the statutory claim then closes.

## Notes

- Health, wage and benefit records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a disclosure is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
- The sources opened do not state a Queensland dust diseases list or a practice direction for an expedited hearing of a terminally ill plaintiff. The lawyer asks the court for directions if urgency is needed.
- A terminal latent-onset lump sum is reduced by weekly benefits, lump sums, redemption payments or damages already received, and is reduced for a worker over 70. Paying it ends medical expenses, weekly payments and further lump sums.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Queensland dust-disease claim, statutory and damages pathways

**Deliverable**: A chronology and issues list that flags the exclusions and does not assume a specialist list.

**Inputs**

- Employment and exposure records
- Medical diagnoses and imaging
- Any workers' compensation payments
- Whether a terminal condition is recorded

**Example**: Illustrative example: The diagnosis is silicosis, with exposure named in two employers' records. The issues list marks no limitation period under s 11(2) and marks PIPA as not applicable. It does not name a tribunal.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The definition of dust-related condition in Civil Liability Act schedule 2 has not been applied by the lawyer.
- The output recommends a court list that was not found.
