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.
While a waiver of subrogation prevents an insurer from pursuing recovery from a responsible third party, a transfer of rights of recovery allows the insurer to pursue such recovery.
In the absence of such authority, the court refused to prohibit Universal from bringing an action as subrogee of the Harrises. In evaluating the defendants' third argument, the court explained the difference between two types of subrogation: equitable and contractual.
The Anti-Subrogation Rule (“ASR”) is a common law defense to subrogation. It states that a subrogated insurance company standing in the shoes of its insured cannot bring a subrogation action against or sue its own insured.
California law states your insurance company must file a subrogation claim within three years of the accident that caused your injuries.
One challenge you might face when fighting a subrogation claim is proving your innocence. If you were not liable for the injury and your lawyer is able to prove that, then the insurance company will have a much harder time pursuing you for reimbursement.
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.
