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.

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.

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.

Timely filing deadline SCFHP requires claims to be submitted within one year of the date of service.

Important note: Insurers aren't obligated to pursue subrogation, but some states require insurers to inform their customers when they decide not to. Customers in those states may then attempt to recover their deductible on their own.

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