Subrogation is a legal concept in Michigan personal injury law that allows insurance companies to seek reimbursement from the party responsible for causing an injury or damage that the insurer had to cover. For example, if an individual is injured in a slip and fall accident on someone else’s premises due to negligence, and their health insurance company pays for their medical treatment, the insurer may have the right to pursue the at-fault party or their liability insurance to recover those costs through subrogation. This process is governed by Michigan’s subrogation laws and regulations, which aim to prevent double recovery and ensure fair compensation. For clients, subrogation can impact their potential settlement or award, as the insurance company may have a claim against those funds. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, a renowned Michigan personal injury law firm, can help clients navigate the complexities of subrogation, protect their rights, and maximize their recovery in cases involving premises liability, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, or traumatic brain injuries.
