Work out the limitation period for a dependency claim separately from the surviving claim
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dates the lawyer supplies, make two rows for the estate's surviving claim and the dependants' claim, and for each row set out the period stated in the section the lawyer names, the start date that section uses, and the last day. Do not decide that a claim is in time.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide which limitation regime applies. The two claims do not share a start date unless the section says so.
- Take each motor-accident exclusion, disability exception and dust exception from the section you opened.
- Do not use an extension power until you have opened the section that says when it applies.
- Family, wage and medical records stay in a firm-controlled tool.
