Subrogation in All 50 States – Third Edition
Chapter 3 contains specific references to case decisions, state statutes,
and regulatory law affecting automobile insurance as affecting subrogation and
reimbursement actions in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The subrogation professional will need to be familiar with the laws of the
particular state involved in order to fully understand the issues involved and
maximize a carrier’s subrogation interest and avoid the anti-subrogation
arguments and tactics of those who wish to destroy your subrogation interests.
Each of the 51 jurisdictions are discussed with regard to general subrogation rights,
application of the Made Whole and Common Fund Doctrines, and other related
issues such as Collateral Source Rules, Anti-Subrogation Statutes, and the
like. Finally, the statutes of limitations for each state are discussed within
that state’s subsection.
