Why would an insurance company choose to subrogate?

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.

What is the most common type of subrogation?

In most subrogation cases, an individual's insurance company pays its client's claim directly, then seeks reimbursement from the other party's insurance company. Subrogation is most common in an auto insurance policy but also occurs in property/casualty and healthcare policy claims.
