## When to use it

Use when an injured person, or someone representing them, lodges a motor accidents dispute in the Personal Injury Commission after a claim has been made to the insurer. Most applications are lodged in Pathway.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare a CTP or workers compensation dispute submission from the scheme file](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/prepare-a-ctp-or-workers-compensation-dispute-submission-from-the-scheme.md)
- [Comply with PIC13 when preparing PIC documents](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/comply-with-pic13-when-preparing-pic-documents.md)
- [Draft correspondence to the insurer or scheme agent](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/draft-correspondence-to-the-insurer-or-scheme-agent.md)

## How AI may be used

The tool may index the insurer's decision and the documents for Pathway, and it writes nothing in a statement of the injured person's evidence and does not lodge the application.

**AI may:**

- Index the claim, the insurer's decision and the internal review outcome by date
- Build a document list for the application from material already on the file
- Flag a written statement so it can be checked against Procedural Direction PIC13

**AI must not:**

- Must not generate the content of a written statement, or rephrase the injured person's evidence, for use in the Commission
- Must not write text that is lodged in Pathway
- Must not enter material produced under compulsion, or material subject to a non-publication direction, into a generative tool unless paragraph 10 of PIC13 is met
- Must not lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- A claim has first been submitted to the insurer. Some disputes require an internal review before the Commission
- The applicant is 18 or over, or the person lodging represents the injured person. Time limits may apply after the insurer's decision
- Everything lodged is visible to all parties in Pathway
- The applying-online page states a 500-page limit on supporting documents for certain initiating applications and replies, and links Procedural Direction PIC12. PIC12 was not opened for this guide
- For a merit review, attach the approved schedule of earnings. That schedule has its own guide
- PIC13 commenced on 1 January 2026 and applies to the Motor Accidents Division. A person must verify citations in submissions
- Health, wage and other personal information stays in a firm-controlled tool. Check confidentiality under ASCR r 9 and APP 11, and whether any breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
