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.
The subrogation process can take weeks, months, or sometimes years to complete, depending on the circumstances of the accident, the complexity of the claim, and the state where it occurred.
Subrogation allows your insurer to recoup costs (medical payments, repairs, etc.), including your deductible, from the at-fault driver's insurance company, if the accident wasn't your fault. A successful subrogation means a refund for you and your insurer.
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.

It is fair and reasonable to provide the customer with a waiver, if the customer's insurer waives subrogation against you as well, but I would not agree to it if it were only in the customer's favour. It is shifting customer risk from it and its insurer to you.
The right of subrogation belongs to the insurance company, not the insured. The insured only waives or releases (the insurance company's) potential claims. An insurer's right to recover is entirely dependent on the insured's right to recover.
