Subrogation is literally the substitution one party in the place of another with respect to a lawful claim, demand or right against a third party, so that the substitute party succeeds to the right of the other, or "stands in the shoes of" the other with respect to the claim against the third party. Subrogation most commonly arises in relation to policies of insurance, but the legal technique of subrogation has a much broader application.
The concept of subrogation is used by those companies which are obligated under policies to pay the property damage or casualty losses which the insured has sustained. In situations where damages appear to have been caused by the negligence or fault of a third party, insurance companies have traditionally exercised their right of subrogation to pursue claims against the liable party.
