FAQ
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.
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.
You can sue for the full extent of your damages allowed by law even if it is more than auto insurance policy limits. The defendant may be liable through personal assets.

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.
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.
