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.
A waiver of subrogation is an agreement that prevents your insurance company from acting on your behalf to recoup expenses from the at-fault party. A waiver of subrogation comes into play when the at-fault driver wants to settle the accident but with your insurer out of the picture.
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.
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.
Review contract terms to understand the specific requirements for the waiver. Contact your insurance provider or broker for guidance. Request the waiver of subrogation from your insurance provider (usually done in writing and includes details about the agreement and why the waiver is needed).
The two most common methods subrogation attorneys utilize to avoid undertaking a litigation process are mediation and arbitration.
As mentioned above, subrogation allows for the insurer to succeed directly to the rights of the insured against a third party. Independent recourse on the other hand constitutes a separate, independent claim against the third party arising with indemnification of the insured by the insurer.
Blanket Waivers: The blanket waiver is used to waive subrogation rights against all third-party recoveries in a policy. Specific Waivers: Specific waivers are used to waive subrogation rights against a specific third party, naming the contract or project to ensure it is understood the waiver is limited.
