FAQ
If it's unclear who's at fault, or if both drivers are responsible, it could affect the results of the subrogation process. If you're partially at fault for an accident, your insurer may only be eligible to recover part of your costs or none at all, depending on state law.
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.
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.
