FAQ
During the subrogation process, your insurance company expects your cooperation. Notify your insurer if you intend to agree to a settlement with the at-fault person or their insurance company.
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.
The principle of subrogation does not apply to life and personal accident policies because these policies are independent of indemnity. The doctrine applies only to marine, fire and other non-life policies.
There are exceptions to waiver of subrogation clauses. For example, if the owner's insurance doesn't cover a certain risk, the owner can pursue recovery costs from the negligent party. In addition, the policy owner may seek to recoup any costs from the third party that exceed the insurance policy's payout limit.
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.
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.
North Carolina promulgates its own in-state experience mods, but also reports data to NCCI for use in interstate mods. NCRB performs inspections to determine correct classifications for NC employers and administers the assigned risk plan for NC but uses NCCI manuals.
