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.
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.
What is an example of when you might want a waiver of subrogation? If your business contracts with clients, you may want a waiver of subrogation in place. This will protect you if you are fully or partially responsible for damages accrued during or after a job with a client.

Defenses to defeat an insurer's subrogation rights, including asserting that the statute of limitations has run or that a valid waiver of subrogation exists or other limitations of liability. Additionally, defense counsel may contest the amount and measure of recoverable damages.
A waiver of subrogation can be categorized into two types: blanket waivers and scheduled waivers. Each serves a distinct purpose in managing risk and insurance claims.
Subrogation clauses are used in the real estate industry and insurance industry and allows insurance companies to follow a lawful claim against a third party that caused damages to the insured. They fall under the common law legal system if a dispute over indemnity or enforceability occurs.
In simpler terms, it means that if one party's negligence causes damage, their insurance company will not pursue a claim against the other party, as long as the damage was covered by insurance. Subrogation authorizes one party (a “subrogee”) to act in place of another (a “subrogor”).
