In Texas, the collateral source rule prevents compensation received by an injured party from sources other than the defendant from being deducted from the total damages awarded. This ensures that defendants cannot reduce their liability by referencing payments made by third parties, such as insurance companies.
Texas Civil Code also authorizes the right of subrogation for medical benefits. One of the essential aspects of Texas subrogation law is that it follows the “made-whole doctrine.” Under this doctrine, an insured must be fully compensated for their losses before the insurer can exercise its subrogation rights.
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.
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.
Subrogation of insurance claims refers to the process by which an insurance company, after paying out a claim following a Texas car accident or other loss, assumes your legal rights to seek damages from a third party.
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.
