During the second 15-day period of the 35 days of the claims process, your insurer must approve or deny your claim and inform you of its decision. If, during this 15-day period your insurer continues to request irrelevant information or documentation, you may want to consult with an attorney if you have not already.
If you have insurance and someone files a subrogation claim against you, the best step you can take is to notify your insurer immediately. Most insurance contracts require you to let them know about accidents in a timely manner, regardless of who's at fault.
Generally, the insurance company has about 30 days to investigate your claim. Pro tip: Your state's statutes of limitations will also determine how much time you have to file and settle a claim. The statute of limitations for insurance claims varies by state, as well as by claim type.

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.
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.
In most subrogation cases, an individual's insurance company pays its client's claim directly, then seeks reimbursement from the other party's insurance company. Subrogation is most common in an auto insurance policy but also occurs in property/casualty and healthcare policy claims.
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.
