Subrogation time limits aren't any different than the time limit for the claim being subrogated. For property damage, that's three years. For personal injury, two years.

I know what you are saying, but to be 100% accurate, there is no time-limit for subrogation. Subrogation is simply negotiations between two parties...those negotiations have no time-bar to them. It's only when it gets to court that a statute of limitations come in to play. If both parties are willing to negotiate 20 years after the fact (an extreme example), then they can have at it.

To make it clear for the poster, a statute of limitations is a deadline for filing a lawsuit.

Extreme is right (LOL). If you haven't sued me by the deadline, your action is time barred and I'm not negotiating squat.

Or charging someone with a crime, although I realize that wasn't the context here.

I'm not negotiating squat.

Don't you mean "I'm not negotiating jack"?

 

[FlyingRon]

Why would anybody negotiate anything that's beyond the statute of limitations?

And to be NITPICKY, subrogation doesn't mean negotiation. It means substitution of one party for another.
