As part of the car insurance claims process, your insurer will tell you if it will file a subrogation claim. This doesn't mean your insurance company will do this for every not-at-fault claim. Keep in mind that state laws vary, so some claims or expenses may not be eligible for subrogation.
If you were at-fault in the accident and are uninsured, then you may receive a subrogation letter from the other driver's insurance company seeking reimbursement directly from you. There is no requirement to respond, but it can be in your best interests to reply.
Subrogation claims rely on fault, and insurance companies can only file claims against those they can prove are liable for property damage. If you can demonstrate that you are not liable for the property damage, the insurance company will have no grounds for their claim, and you will not have to pay it.
As to the format, a subrogation letter should include: Letter creation date. The name of the insured and the name of the at-fault party. The sum paid to the insured. Summary of the damages. Request for the policy number of the recipient. Request to contact the insurance company and contact details.
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.
