FAQ
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.
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.
The subrogation process can take weeks, months, or sometimes years to complete, depending on the circumstances of the accident, the complexity of the claim, and the state where it occurred.
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.
In most subrogation cases, an individual's insurance company pays its client's claim directly, then seeks reimbursement from the other party's insurance company. Subrogation is most common in an auto insurance policy but also occurs in property/casualty and healthcare policy claims.
How long does subrogation take? In general, the average subrogation process takes around 6-months. However, depending on the severity of the accident in question, it could take longer.
