FAQ
Texas Civil Code also authorizes the right of subrogation for medical benefits. One of the essential aspects of Texas subrogation law is that it follows the “made-whole doctrine.” Under this doctrine, an insured must be fully compensated for their losses before the insurer can exercise its subrogation rights.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
