FAQ
You will want to immediately notify your own insurer to determine how they can assist you. A subrogation claim is not going to go away on its own. If you ignore the letter, the insurer will file a lawsuit against you, the party being held responsible, and the insurer will win, almost every time.
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.
How Long Does the Subrogation Process Take? While some subrogation claims might be settled within a few months through straightforward negotiations, others may require extensive legal intervention, mediation, or even court proceedings, which can significantly prolong the process.
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 in California is essentially the legal process by which employers or their insurers step into the shoes of the injured employee to seek reimbursement.
In general, the average subrogation process takes around 6-months. However, depending on the severity of the accident in question, it could take longer.

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.
The right of subrogation belongs to the insurance company, not the insured. The insured only waives or releases (the insurance company's) potential claims. An insurer's right to recover is entirely dependent on the insured's right to recover.
