| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the accident date and the liability decision the lawyer marks, list each week limit the linked source states and the fact that would select it. Do not pick the limit and do not calculate a payment rate. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which week limit applies, including any fault or threshold gate. Do not use a payment percentage. Those rates were not taken from the sections opened. Record that a damages settlement can stop income benefits even if weeks remain. 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 accident date and the liability decision the lawyer marks, list each week limit the linked source states and the fact that would select it. Do not pick the limit and do not calculate a payment rate.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which week limit applies, including any fault or threshold gate. Do not use a payment percentage. Those rates were not taken from the sections opened. A damages settlement can stop income benefits even if weeks remain. 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 every limit the source states, including a fault or threshold gate.
2. Do not pick which limit applies.
3. Do not calculate a weekly rate or a percentage of earnings.
4. Do not enter a week count for a place whose source states none.

## 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.
