Subrogation potential is not always the eager puppy of the
litter who runs to you and jumps into your arms, covering you with
an excess of salivary interest. Sometimes, the best subrogation
claims are like the runt who hangs back, feigning indifference, and
sniffing a flower as competing files clamor for your attention.
Join Partner Jason Lowe and co-presenters James Busenlener
(Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, S.C.), Michael Jonescu
(Enstar Group (U.S.)), and Marcus Reath (McLarens
Global Claims Services) as they present for the 2020 CLM
Focus.
In this session, the presenters will discuss hard to identify
subrogation claims that are often ignored until too late. Examples
include contribution actions against other insurers, equitable
subrogation, and claims against independent agents or certification
professionals whose actions create a coverage obligation which
would not otherwise exist.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
