## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| 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 earnings and capacity material the lawyer supplies, build an assumptions table for future economic loss. The lawyer names the civil liability statute. Where that statute is the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), the requirements are s 13. The lawyer supplies the assumptions and the percentage possibility. The tool does not choose either. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides the most likely future circumstances but for the injury, the percentage possibility, and whether an award can be supported, and writes any schedule or submission. Other jurisdictions are checked on their own Act. The NSW section is the one opened for this task. |

## Checking plan

**Future-loss assumptions left for the lawyer**

The tool rows the statutory requirements for future economic loss. The lawyer states the assumptions and the percentage possibility.

- What the AI does: From the earnings and capacity material the lawyer supplies, build an assumptions table for future economic loss. The lawyer names the civil liability statute. Where that statute is the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW), the requirements are s 13. The lawyer supplies the assumptions and the percentage possibility. The tool does not choose either.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the most likely future circumstances but for the injury, the percentage possibility, and whether an award can be supported, and writes any schedule or submission. Other jurisdictions are checked on their own Act. The NSW section is the one opened for this task.
- 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. Record the assumptions about future earning capacity or other events, and whether they accord with the most likely future circumstances but for the injury.
2. Leave the percentage possibility blank until the lawyer states it.
3. Keep a row for the statement of the assumptions and the percentage that is required if an award is made.
4. The lawyer writes any schedule or submission.

## 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.
