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.

What is Subrogation? Subrogation refers to the practice of substituting one party for another in a legal setting. Essentially, subrogation provides a legal right to a third party to collect a debt or damages on behalf of another party.

Subrogation in auto insurance For example, suppose you have suffered injuries due to an accident caused by a third party. In that case, subrogation gives your insurance company the legal right to step into your shoes and seek compensation for the damages caused to your car.

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.

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.

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.

Best Practices for Proving Your Subrogation Case In any subrogation tort claim, your elements of the subrogation action must prove 4 things: The at-fault party had a duty. The at-fault party breached that care of duty. That breach of duty caused the loss incident.

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.
