Description

The document outlines the differences between subrogation and recovery in Minnesota within the context of a legal complaint. Subrogation allows an insurer to recover amounts it has paid on behalf of an insured from a third party responsible for the loss. Recovery, on the other hand, focuses on the direct compensation owed to the insured party for their damages. This distinction is critical in cases involving claims against uninsured or underinsured motorists, as seen in the outlined example. The form serves as a crucial tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, enabling them to draft comprehensive complaints asserting both recovery and subrogation rights. Key features of the form include jurisdiction details, party identification, and clauses for declaratory judgment. Filling instructions emphasize clarity in listing parties and amounts sought. Specific use cases include cases involving automobile accidents, insurance claims, and scenarios where parties seek to clarify their rights and obligations post-accident.
