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.
California law states your insurance company must file a subrogation claim within three years of the accident that caused your injuries.
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.
One challenge you might face when fighting a subrogation claim is proving your innocence. If you were not liable for the injury and your lawyer is able to prove that, then the insurance company will have a much harder time pursuing you for reimbursement.
Contact our Claims Department at (213) 367-4600, or email claims@ladwp, and request a call back or information regarding receiving a Claim Form. Claims for death, injury to person or to personal property must be filed not later than six (6) months after the occurrence.
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.
