subrogation
To understand subrogation it's important to know how society and the law defined subrogation. Subrogation by Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary is defined "the assumption by a third party of another's legal right to collect a debt or damages." Courts have defined subrogation as: "when one person has satisfied the obligations of another and equity compels that the person discharging the debt stand in the shoes of the persons whose claims has been discharged, thereby succeeding to the rights and priorities of the original creditor; FDIC v. Coone, 1992 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15942 (M.D. Florida)(October 15, 1992); and "the principle by which an insurer, having paid losses of its insured, is placed in the position of its insured so that it may recover from the third party legally responsible from the loss." Eastern states health & Welfare Fund v. Philip Morris, Inc., 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9716(S.D. New York) (July 1, 1998).

Subrogation can keep rates low by requiring the person who is responsible for the loss to pay for it, and not the insurer. Recoveries are reflected in the increased premiums for those who are responsible for the loss. Or reflected in lower premiums for those policyholders who are not responsible for the loss. This is also known as experience rating. The process of experience rating ads a credit or debt to premiums predetermined by the National Counsel on compensation Insurance. In a recent claim, a bank was one of the unfortunate banks in the southeastern United States which had been victimized by a very sophisticated ring of bank burglars. The burglars would target banks over holiday weekends, enter the bank when the bank was closed and wait for the night deposits.
