FAQ
The Anti-Subrogation Rule (“ASR”) is a common law defense to subrogation. It states that a subrogated insurance company standing in the shoes of its insured cannot bring a subrogation action against or sue its own insured.
Receiving a subrogation letter can seem problematic, but it does not have to be. Instead, reach out to your car accident attorney immediately to provide a copy of the letter and any information about the claims you made. If you received compensation from the insurance company, do not ignore this letter.

Defenses to defeat an insurer's subrogation rights, including asserting that the statute of limitations has run or that a valid waiver of subrogation exists or other limitations of liability. Additionally, defense counsel may contest the amount and measure of recoverable damages.
Texas Civil Code also authorizes the right of subrogation for medical benefits.

Insurance companies don't have forever to make a subrogation claim. While the statutory limitations period can vary depending on the type of subrogation claim made—and in which jurisdiction it is made—the standard statute of limitations ranges from one to six years.
When factoring comparative negligence and improper referrals, the recovery rate should be somewhere in the range of 85-90%. This requires adjusters properly identifying subrogation, assessing comparative negligence and pursuing only what they are entitled to.
