FAQ
Subrogation Law and General Insurance Policies Georgia's Made Whole Doctrine states that a benefit provider (health insurance, generally) may only recover from a third-party claim (such as a client's personal injury settlement) if the amount of the recovery exceeds the sum of all economic and non-economic losses.
You will want to immediately notify your own insurer to determine how they can assist you. A subrogation claim is not going to go away on its own. If you ignore the letter, the insurer will file a lawsuit against you, the party being held responsible, and the insurer will win, almost every time.
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.
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.
Subrogation allows your insurer to recoup costs (medical payments, repairs, etc.), including your deductible, from the at-fault driver's insurance company, if the accident wasn't your fault. A successful subrogation means a refund for you and your insurer.
How long does subrogation take? In general, the average subrogation process takes around 6-months. However, depending on the severity of the accident in question, it could take longer.
When you file a claim, your insurer can try to recover costs from the person responsible for your injury or property damage. This is known as subrogation. For example: Your insurance company pays your doctor for your treatment following an auto accident that someone else caused.
