## 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 | 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. |

## 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: 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 does: 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.
- 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 place, registration, residence and whether the person was in the vehicle.
2. Do not choose the scheme in the table.
3. Do not copy a benefit table for a place whose statute was not opened.
4. Note any second claim that has been accepted, paid or started.

## 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.
