Which party pays for damages under a Subrogation agreement?

  1. The insurer pays the claimant and seeks repayment

  2. The claimant pays the insurer directly

  3. The court pays the damages

  4. Claimant’s medical insurance covers the damages

The correct answer is: The insurer pays the claimant and seeks repayment

Under a Subrogation agreement, the insurer pays the claimant for their damages and then seeks to recover that amount from the party that is ultimately responsible for the loss. This process allows the insurance company to maintain its financial integrity while providing prompt compensation to the insured. The insurer steps into the shoes of the insured after making the payment, enabling them to pursue reimbursement from the liable party. This mechanism is essential in reducing costs for insurers, ultimately benefiting policyholders by keeping insurance premiums lower, as the insurer can recover funds they have paid out. Subrogation ensures that the financial burden of the damage is placed on the party at fault rather than on the insurer or the insured.
