FAQ
Yes, you do need to respond to subrogation letters and if you don't, your insurance will likely drop you. Basically, your insurance company is trying to see if someone else was responsible for your injury, for example, maybe you were injured in a car accident, a work injury, or something of the like.
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.
Benefits of Subrogation In insurance, subrogation allows your insurer to recover the costs associated with a claim, such as medical bills, repairs costs, and your deductible, from the at-fault party's insurer (assuming you were not at-fault).
Subrogation claims can be broadly categorized into two main types: contractual and equitable. Understanding the distinction between these two is crucial for insurance companies to determine their legal standing when pursuing reimbursement.
What is the Legal Definition of Subrogation? Subrogation, in the legal context, refers to when one party takes on the legal rights of another, especially substituting one creditor for another. Subrogation can also occur when one party takes over another's right to sue.
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.
Subrogation rights can be limited by state law. In fact, eight states are considered “Anti-Subrogation” states with one more effectively anti-subrogation. Those states are: Arizona.
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.
One example of subrogation is when an insured driver's car is totaled through the fault of another driver. The insurance carrier reimburses the covered driver under the terms of the policy and then pursues legal action against the driver at fault.
