Subrogation is the process of one standing in for another. As it relates to insurance, subrogation is the legal process which transfers authority to an insurance company, allowing them to file a claim against a third party.
The subrogation claim process works along these lines. In most cases, the actions related to a subrogation claim between the two insurance companies. Even though the insurance company for the damaged party is not liable, to rectify the situation as quickly as possible, they will most likely work to settle the claim with their customer.
Once they have closed the claim they will seek to be reimbursed. The At-Fault party is legally responsible and they will now get to the business of getting their money back. As mentioned earlier, subrogation language in your policy allows the insurance companies to proceed without input. In most cases, the subrogation process is totally seamless as far as you the customer goes.
In some instances the matters are moved into the courtroom. At this point, if you are the At-Fault party in an accident, your level of input it matters will most likely increase and you will receive notice of legal action against you. While most of the actions will still be between the two insurance companies, you could be required to testify among other things.

Related Terms and Phrases
We’re born, we live and we die, and how we’re treated in death is surrounded by ritual and ceremony. For those who have suffered a loss, emotions rule and there’s a tremendous reliance on others to help commemorate the passing of a loved one. Funeral directors and morticians have a critical role and, because of their position, are vulnerable to lawsuits should plans go 
wrong.
Like any other businessperson, funeral directors and morticians need to have general liability protection to handle losses related to routine circumstances that could happen as easily at a gas station, grocery store, dance studio or tax office. But “general” coverage does NOT handle losses that are directly connected to their professional duties. Professional Liability coverage will differ according to the insurance company providing the protection because coverage is not standardized. Regardless, most policies will likely handle the following:
Bodily Injury – Coverage applies for any professional malpractice error or mistake in the embalming, handling, disposition, burial, disinterment or removal of any deceased human body or any conduct of any memorial service by the insured. Injuries involving burial rights as well as mental anguish are also covered.
Property Damage – may cover damage to or destruction of urns, caskets, linings or fittings, casket eases, crypts, mausoleums or similar facilities. Protection is also available for claims connected to loss of damage to property that is in the care (possession) of a funeral director and staff, such as a body as well as personal effects.
Defense – provides protection for the costs of providing a legal defense against claims and lawsuits. Care has to be taken about this 
coverage. It makes a huge difference whether these costs are provided as separate protection or if payments are deducted from the amount of policy limits purchased.
Exclusions – typically, such policies will not protect against intentional acts (fraud, misrepresentation and deliberately violating laws or regulations), contractual liability, losses involving motorized or animal-drawn vehicles, losses to property owned by the funeral operation, losses involving medical wastes and chemicals and other sources of loss that are meant to be covered by other types of policies.
Funeral directors and the people who work for them have many, important responsibilities, including the need to contact an insurance professional to make sure they have protection for mistakes that they may make.
