Pursuing Subrogation Recovery While Supporting Your Insured
Rathbone Group’s thoughtful interaction with insureds and experts helps identify subrogation opportunities and additional third parties to pursue, including an emphasis on preserving evidence. Subrogation investigations – urgency and quality – are vital to building a strong case for negligence. We probe forensic expert testimony, interview and evaluate witnesses, determine fault, and bring parties together to inspect evidence and resolve claims.
