FAQ
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.
Subrogation of insurance claims refers to the process by which an insurance company, after paying out a claim following a Texas car accident or other loss, assumes your legal rights to seek damages from a third party.
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.
During the subrogation process, your insurance company expects your cooperation. Notify your insurer if you intend to agree to a settlement with the at-fault person or their insurance company.
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.
In most subrogation cases, an individual's insurance company pays its client's claim directly, then seeks reimbursement from the other party's insurance company. Subrogation is most common in an auto insurance policy but also occurs in property/casualty and healthcare policy claims.
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.
