Waivers of subrogation work in the same fashion no matter the line of insurance. A waiver of subrogation is one party agreeing who has had risk transfered to it (usually an insurance company) agreeing to not pursue the legal rights transfered to it when a loss occurs against one or more than one party. For example, Bob the builder is working on a contract for Jill the general contractor. Bob the builder has insurance through Builder's Mutual Insurance Co. Jill asks Bob for a waiver of subrogation from his insurance company before she will let him work on her project. Bob asks Builders Mutual for the waiver, and they grant it. They have agreed that if they pay any claims to Bob or on Bob's behalf, they will not subrogate against Jill. This means that if Bob and Jill are both At Fault for a claim, or even if Jill is more at fault, or Jill causes a loss to Bob's property, Builders Mutual has agreed in advance to not pursue any action to recover money from Jill. It is a very broad right to give up, and should be carefully considered before accepting. Mark Walters, ARM AAI West Insurance Group mwalters@westagy.com
