Subrogation & Recovery Law

Rathbone Group: A National Leader in Subrogation Law

Rathbone Group’s attorneys have been practicing subrogation and recovery law since the 1990s. We tirelessly advocate for insurers’ and creditors’ right to recovery under a theory of equitable subrogation with a team of skilled attorneys, adjusters, and specialists focused on maximizing your recovery while minimizing the cost of subrogation pursuit.

Rathbone Group represents diverse clients across the United States; just a few include insurance and reinsurance companies, Third-Party Administrators (TPAs), and self-insured entities. Our seasoned legal team manages all types of subrogation claims, including:

Rathbone Group’s claims portfolio includes a broad spectrum of losses, from thousands of dollars to millions. Our topnotch team of subrogation lawyers and case managers blend consummate legal experience with a leading-edge, collaborative approach to successfully handle the most complex subrogation claims.

Subrogation is a niche area of law, and insurance companies across the country rely on our expertise to navigate these treacherous waters. With high stakes, complicated fact patterns, and intricate legal concerns, RG’s experienced subrogation attorneys can mean the difference between success and failure.

What to Expect from Rathbone Group’s Subrogation Services

With the statute of limitations clock ticking, Rathbone Group’s team begins a swift, thorough, and cost-effective investigation into the facts of the subrogated matter. Under our contingency-fee model, in-house managers and specialists perform activities that could be outsourced to hourly fee consultants or with your limited internal resources, thereby reducing investigation expenses.

When warranted, our attorneys move quickly to interview witnesses, liaise with public authorities, and identify, preserve, and analyze relevant physical evidence. When the client approves retention of outside experts, our subrogation team works closely with those experts to expediently establish the relevant findings. Thorough, detailed documentation is a focus throughout the subrogation claims process; preserving every available fact of the claim and ensuring timelines are adhered to strengthens the case for maximum recovery.

In addition to regular narrative reports from our subrogation attorneys, clients can keep up with the progress of their subrogation claim through RG’s highly secure web-based client portal or through custom reporting. Communication is client-led; when requested, we offer regular client update to review each subrogated claim in detail and ensure full compliance with reporting and budgetary requirements.

We Are Committed to Maximizing Client Subrogation Recovery

Our goal as subrogation and recovery counsel is to identify, investigate, and successfully resolve actionable subrogation claims based on thorough claim analysis seen through the lens of our decades of practical experience. We are committed to advocating our clients’ right to recover, as well as to providing educational resources for insurance and subrogation professionals across the industry.

Where possible, we negotiate subrogation settlements via mediation or arbitration because of the advantages this provides the client in cost and time investment. However, we always work within subrogation statutes of limitations to ensure that, when a lawsuit is necessary, our clients are ahead of the game with skilled litigators at their side.

Rathbone Group pursues every loss with subrogation potential while identifying non-meritorious claims and recommending our insurance clients close them, to avoid the incremental costs insurers incur by keeping non-viable claims open. Under a contingency-fee structure, our subrogation law firm handles claims creatively, aggressively, and successfully, without exposing clients to significant out-of-pocket fees, maximizing subrogation recovery while minimizing cost of pursuit.
