Subrogation

An insurer’s ability, after paying a claim, to pursue recovery using the insured’s rights against another responsible party.

AIG’s referenced liability wording includes a subrogation condition. The exact rights and obligations must be read in the applicable policy.

Before signing a customer or supplier contract that waives recovery rights, ask your adviser to check the insurance implications.

Preserve evidence after a loss. Avoid agreeing releases or settlements without checking the claims instructions and obtaining any required consent.
