You must carry at least $50,000 of PIP coverage as part of your auto insurance policy. Most states in the U.S. maintain some type of minimum car insurance requirement to legally drive in the state. In New York, minimum coverage requirements are: $25,000 bodily injury liability per person and $50,000 death per person.
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.
Receiving a subrogation letter can seem problematic, but it does not have to be. Instead, reach out to your car accident attorney immediately to provide a copy of the letter and any information about the claims you made. If you received compensation from the insurance company, do not ignore this letter.
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.
Those states are: Arizona. Connecticut. Kansas. Missouri. New Jersey. New York. North Carolina. Virginia.
