FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you do need to respond to subrogation letters and if you don't, your insurance will likely drop you. Basically, your insurance company is trying to see if someone else was responsible for your injury, for example, maybe you were injured in a car accident, a work injury, or something of the like.
They have to be 99% sure the facts are as you say they are. Civil court, where subrogation cases are heard, has a lower bar, setting burden of proof at “a preponderance of evidence,” which is legalese for “more likely than not”. The court just needs to be pretty sure the facts are as they say you are.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with your insurance company. I am quite frustrated with the lack of prompt and efficient service. Despite numerous attempts to contact your team regarding my claim, I have yet to receive any substantive feedback or resolution.
Decide on the outcome you want. Escalate your complaint. Stick to the facts. Be pleasant even as you're insistent. Be willing to admit when you are wrong. Be part of the solution, if you can. Whatever the outcome be gracious.
If you have insurance and someone files a subrogation claim against you, the best step you can take is to notify your insurer immediately. Most insurance contracts require you to let them know about accidents in a timely manner, regardless of who's at fault.
