Subrogation

"Assuming the legal rights of someone or some entity whose debts or expenses have been paid."  Subrogation generally occurs when an insurance company has paid its insured, in accordance with the policy of insurance, and has assumed the legal rights the insured has against the third party that caused the injury or damages.  In other words, subrogation consists of forcing the responsible party to pay for the damages it caused.
