FAQ
A waiver of subrogation can be categorized into two types: blanket waivers and scheduled waivers. Each serves a distinct purpose in managing risk and insurance claims.
Additionally, insurers can receive salvage recovery for totaled vehicles that they take possession of, regardless of fault. On the other hand, subrogation value can either be the amount to repair a damaged vehicle or, for a total loss, the remaining loss after salvage recovery, if any.
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.
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.

What is Subrogation? Subrogation refers to the practice of substituting one party for another in a legal setting. Essentially, subrogation provides a legal right to a third party to collect a debt or damages on behalf of another party.
Georgia's subrogation statute is written to protect the claimant. The claimant recovers first and the intervenor (the employer/insurer) recovers only after the claimant.
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.
