Work out which scheme applies to an interstate motor-accident crash
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Build a table of the accident place, each vehicle's registration, where the injured person lives, and whether they were in the vehicle or outside it. Do not choose the scheme.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which scheme applies and whether a second claim must stop.
- The table is an issues list. It is not advice to the client.
- Do not copy another place's benefit table from a page that was not opened for that place.
- Health, wage and scheme records stay in the firm tool. ASCR r 9 and APP 11 apply, and a breach may be notifiable.
