A Waiver of Subrogation is an endorsement that prohibits an insurance carrier from recovering the money they paid on a claim from a negligent third party. An Owner Client may require this endorsement from their vendors to avoid being held liable for claims that occur on their jobsite.

What Is the Principle of Subrogation in Insurance.To make up for the compensation paid, your insurer can claim the (insured) right over that third party. You surrender your rights over the third party to the insurer. This transfer of all the rights, and remedies, from insured to insurer is called subrogation.
