Both Section 29 in New York and Section 40 in New Jersey permit the carrier to sue “in the shoes” of the claimant/petitioner. Why would a claimant/petitioner not sue a third party? What can you do if they refuse? What are the statutory prerequisites to commencing a subrogation action? What are the proofs and legal standards involved for common third-party causes of action? In this LIVE webinar on Monday, July 11, 2022, we boil down the complex issue of subrogation into the basics!
We discuss the following:
- Instances where a claimant/petitioner might not file a third-party action
- The legal requirements under Section 29(2) and Section 40(f)
- What to do before and after filing the subrogation complaint
- How to drive toward immediate settlement to minimize costs
