Subrogation Rights

Subrogation rights in the state of Florida essentially means that somebody stands in your shoes to recover. And what that means most typically, especially in an automobile accident case, is you’re involved in an accident and you require medical treatment. And because of that medical treatment you incur, say $10,000 in medical bills that your health insurance company has to pay for.

Well your health insurance company gets to stand in your shoes and they have subrogation rights, where if you later settle the case and the at fault driver’s insurance company pays you for your injuries and damages, you have to pay back the health insurance company that paid for your medical care and treatment that was the result of the at fault driver causing you injuries.
