What does Subrogation mean in this context?

• A. The insured has information on the person(s) that they believe were at fault for the damage.
• B. The claim number
• C. The referral number
• D. The date of loss

Answer: (A)

Subrogation is the insurer’s right to recover the amount paid on a claim from the party responsible for the damage after the claim has been paid. In this context, having information about who is believed to be at fault helps the insurer identify the correct third party to pursue for recovery. The other items—claim number, referral number, and date of loss—are simply tracking details for the claim and do not describe the process of seeking reimbursement from a responsible party.
