In their chapter, Matthew and Jessica provide a framework for the basic principles of subrogation, along with the rationale for permitting and promoting subrogation.  Additionally, helpful hints are offered in conjunction with a discussion of numerous subrogation related issues, including the distinctions between contractual and conventional subrogation; priority of recovery; and the protection of an insurer’s subrogation rights.
