Prepare the explanation for a late motor-accident claim
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dated documents the lawyer selects, set out what the claimant knew and did between the accident and the claim. Leave blank every part the claimant must sign or verify.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether the explanation is full and whether any excuse is reasonable.
- The lawyer completes any part the claimant must sign or verify.
- Do not lodge an explanation the documents do not support.
- Health, wage and scheme records stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable.

Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Do not begin AI assistance until the responsible lawyer has defined and confirmed its permitted scope. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Order the events by the dates on the documents, not by a conference note alone.
- Stop the account at the date the explanation is given.
- Confirm the parts the claimant must sign or verify are still blank.
- Flag a Nominal Defendant notice that is past 9 months so the lawyer can check the bar.
