Featured tool

EL Witness Statement Generator

Upload the accident report, attendance notes, employer records and medical evidence you already hold for the accident-at-work or occupational disease file. The AI extracts the facts, populates the statement and runs 14 compliance checks against CPR Part 32. A confirm step lets your fee earner correct anything before sign-off and export.

Import attendance notes

Upload typed attendance notes or recorded calls with the injured employee and the AI extracts personal details, job role, the mechanism of injury and the immediate aftermath.

EL documents in, statement out

Drop accident report forms, RIDDOR records, employer correspondence and medical evidence into named slots. For disease files the platform structures decades of occupational history.

CPR Part 32 format and structure

15 automated format checks cover statement of truth, declarations, preparation-method disclosure, source attribution for every fact and the CJC-aligned AI-use declaration block. Substance is verified by your fee-earner with the witness before trial.

Backed by EL authority

Statements draw on 10 UK employers' liability authorities, covering the EL/PL pre-action protocol, the Employers’ Liability Acts, Wilsons & Clyde Coal v English, Stark v Post Office, Fairchild and Hatton.

What this area covers

Workplace accidents

Slips, trips, manual handling, machinery and falls from height. Single-event, factual files.

Occupational disease

Asbestos and mesothelioma, noise-induced hearing loss, hand-arm vibration syndrome, occupational asthma and repetitive strain. Long employment histories spanning decades.

Accident and disease, one platform

The same upload, extract and confirm flow handles both, with disease files prompting for the extra occupational-history detail.

Workplace claims turn on what the employee was told, trained and given to work with. Our witness statement drafting software builds that account from the documents in the file and checks it against CPR Part 32 before it reaches a fee earner.

Documents we draft

AI-suitability ratings are CaseFlow's assessment. A qualified fee earner reviews and signs off every output.

How it works

1

Upload what you hold

Instructions, attendance notes, the accident report, employment records, medical evidence.

2

AI extracts with source attribution

The platform pulls the facts and attributes every value to its source document.

3

You confirm on a single panel

Correct anything, fill genuine gaps where the platform flags low confidence.

4

Generate, check, export

CPR and protocol checks run before the document displays. Export to Word or PDF.

Every document is drafted to be CPR and protocol compliant, and every AI-extracted fact carries a source attribution. Nothing is served without a qualified fee earner reviewing and signing off. LegalDocs-Assist speeds up the drafting, it does not replace the solicitor's judgement.
