You have to defend your self just as if the lawsuit was filed by the original claimant. If you have an insurance carrier, tender the claim to them in writing immediately and your carrier should handle it for you. If you don't have insurance, you should hire a lawyer to defend against the claim. In subrogation, the insurance carrier seeking subrogation has the same rights as their policy holder. They bear the same burden of proof that the alleged victim would have had at trial.

What does waiver of subrogation in insurance mean?

Endorsement to a property liability policy whereby an insurer gives up the right to take action against a third party for a loss suffered by an insured. Typically, under terms of the http://www.answers.com/topic/subrogation-clause, the insurer, having paid an insured for a loss, takes over any rights possessed by the insured who has suffered the loss. For example, an insured, John Smith, is hit by another car while he is driving. His insurance company pays his claim and then may sue or attempt to recover damages from the other driver. In certain instances, the insured might want to get a waiver of subrogation rights from the insurer. For example, if a landlord assured a tenant that the tenant was not responsible for damage to the landlord's property, the landlord could make good on that promise only by getting the insurer to waive its subrogation rights. Otherwise, if the landlord's property was damaged by the tenant, the insurer would have to pay the claim and could then try to collect damages from the tenant.

What do you do if the driver who hit you does not agree to contact their insurance company?

If you have their driver's license number or the license plate number from their car, you can call the Division of Motor Vehicles for your state to obtain insurance information. From there, follow that company's procedure for reporting a claim. You could report the loss to your own insurance carrier and even make a claim if you think the damages exceed your deductible. Your insurance company would then contact the insurance carrier for the other party and make a claim to recover any amounts they had paid you, including your deductible. This is called subrogation.
