## When to use it

Use when a worker in the Northern Territory is making a workers compensation claim other than a death claim, on the form NT WorkSafe publishes as the approved form. Death claims use two separate approved forms. Do not describe fields that were not on the page.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft the pre-action notice or statutory claim form from the instructions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/draft-the-pre-action-notice-or-statutory-claim-form-from-the-instruction.md)
- [Reconcile the claim form with the medical chronology and payroll evidence](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/reconcile-the-claim-form-with-the-medical-chronology-and-payroll-evidenc.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check a draft against the current form and list gaps. The lawyer writes the injury account and checks every form that will be signed or lodged.

**AI may:**

- Check the draft against the current official form and list blank fields and missing attachments named on the page
- Flag when a death claim, a dispute form or a medical certificate is being used as the worker's claim form
- List the lodgement path stated on the page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the injury narrative or any words that would be signed or lodged
- Must not decide whether the injury is compensable or calculate an entitlement
- Must not sign, lodge or serve the form

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current form is the one the scheme page prescribes for this kind of claim
- The injury account, dates and earnings match the instructions and the medical certificate
- Any time limit, excess or insurer step is checked against the current scheme rules
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
