Thorough investigations are completed by subrogation specialists well-versed in the subrogation laws and processes of each state, and Rathbone Group offers skilled subrogation services to captive insurance companies across the United States and Canada.

State specific knowledge of insurance law cannot be understated when it comes to recovering losses through subrogation. Every jurisdiction approaches insurance disputes differently; the same subrogated matter may be handled dissimilarly between courts. Our efficient and creative approach to subrogation, coupled with our subrogation lawyers licensed in dozens of states, maximize your chance of recovery while minimizing your invested time, effort, and cost.

Pre-suit Efforts to Recover Subrogation Claims Save Money & Time

We make every effort to resolve subrogation claims before litigation through negotiation, mediation or arbitration; litigation is considered a last resort because resolving subrogation claims without litigation has many advantages, including:

• A less contentious process
• No discovery or depositions
• Less demand on client time
• A more truncated proceeding
• Less time from placement to recovery
• Lower costs

Nationwide Litigation by Highly Vetted In-House & Network Subrogation Attorneys

Sometimes litigation is unavoidable. In those cases, Rathbone Group’s attorneys are adept at litigating subrogation cases strategically and effectively nationwide. Our subrogation lawyers understand the complexity of the insurance industry and excel at helping clients navigate difficult and/or complex subrogation claims. This includes identifying potential parties and claims to analyzing any potential defenses and ultimately litigating claims to a successful resolution.

Multiple Applicable Jurisdictions Make Subrogation Claims More Complicated

Some state courts are more amenable to the rights of carriers to recover losses via subrogation than others. Cases involving multiple jurisdictions pose additional problems, as they may involve conflicting state laws and regulations. Rathbone’s attention to detail and ability to serve clients across the US and Canada provides us the ability to help captive insurance companies of any type and size maximize their subrogation potential regardless of the facts and/or amount of the claim.
