FAQ
What is the Legal Definition of Subrogation? Subrogation, in the legal context, refers to when one party takes on the legal rights of another, especially substituting one creditor for another. Subrogation can also occur when one party takes over another's right to sue.
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.
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.
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.
You will want to immediately notify your own insurer to determine how they can assist you. A subrogation claim is not going to go away on its own. If you ignore the letter, the insurer will file a lawsuit against you, the party being held responsible, and the insurer will win, almost every time.
One example of subrogation is when an insured driver's car is totaled through the fault of another driver. The insurance carrier reimburses the covered driver under the terms of the policy and then pursues legal action against the driver at fault.
