FAQ

North Carolina is unique, as the state strictly prohibits subrogation language or clauses in privately funded health insurance policies. This means that North Carolina insurance companies are not able to receive a subrogation interest in your personal injury recovery.

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.

§ 14-127. Willful and wanton injury to real property. If any person shall willfully and wantonly damage, injure or destroy any real property whatsoever, either of a public or private nature, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

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.

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.

However, North Carolina prohibits subrogation. Our anti-subrogation laws mean that insurance providers cannot touch your personal settlement or award after an accident. These laws are critical in protecting the rights of injured people against insurance companies.

If it's unclear who's at fault, or if both drivers are responsible, it could affect the results of the subrogation process. If you're partially at fault for an accident, your insurer may only be eligible to recover part of your costs or none at all, depending on state law.

Cons of Subrogation Claims This can reduce the amount of damages recovered and potentially increase the financial burden on the insurance company or policyholder. Time: Subrogation claims can be time-consuming, particularly if they involve litigation.
