FAQ

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.

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.

You will want to immediately notify your own insurer to determine how they can assist you. A subrogation claim is not going to go away on its own. If you ignore the letter, the insurer will file a lawsuit against you, the party being held responsible, and the insurer will win, almost every time.

Best Practices for Proving Your Subrogation Case In any subrogation tort claim, your elements of the subrogation action must prove 4 things: The at-fault party had a duty. The at-fault party breached that care of duty. That breach of duty caused the loss incident.

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.

Timeline on Insurance Claims in California In California, an insurance company has 85 days to completely settle a claim after it has been filed. However, up until those 85 days, there are some ways that an insurer has to communicate with the injured victim and their attorney.

California law states your insurance company must file a subrogation claim within three years of the accident that caused your injuries.
