How should you respond to a Subrogation claim against you for an accident if you do not believe you were at fault Is there a statute of limitations on this type of action?
Yes, there is a statute of limitation for EVERY type of action.
What should you do when hit with a subrogation claim that is false?
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 is the difference between common law subrogation and contractual subrogation?
First, the difference used to matter in the US, but in most instances the difference is negligible now. Common law subrogation arises from the historic decisions of the courts of the state or jurisdiction where the subrogation lien arose. These courts in almost every state established laws that provided that a payor of another's true debt would have a claim against the responsible party (or - more accurately - a lien on the harmed party's claim against the responsible party). Contractual subrogation technically arises out of a contract (such as an insurance policy or mortgage agreement) that provides in a clause or two that if payments need to be made then the payor will have a claim (or a lien on the claim) against the responsible party. Nowadays, the distinction between the two is very blurry as most courts recognize the common law subrogation right, and treat it in tandem with the contractual subrogation rights.

When should an insurance claim be received?
Insurance claims should be asserted "as soon as practicable", which is the term usually used in the policy. This means, ASAP given all of the circumstances. Among the problems caused by delay, and which can result in the denial of the claim, is that the insurer is not given enough time to investigate the circumstances of the claim. Another is that the insurer may determine that another person or entity is at fault for the loss. Even if the insurer pays the claim of its insured, it has the right to recover its payment from the wrongdoer through the process of subrogation. The fast report of a claim will help ensure the preservation of evidence (material evidence, pictures, witness statements, etc.) that may assist in the subrogation claim.

Do you have to pay back health providor after auto settlement?
It depends. Check with your health insurer and ask whether or not their is a subrogation clause in your policy. If there is, then your health insurer will likely want "pay back" of any monies they have paid out on your behalf that are related to the auto accident. If there is no such clause then any settlement money is likely yours for the taking/keeping. In case you aren't familiar with the term subrogation, most companies refer to subrogation as the process in which expenses are recouped for a claim paid on behalf of the insured when another party should have been responsible for paying some, or all, of that claim.

How do you respond to a subrogation analyst when you receive a claim letter asking for insurance information from them on behalf of their client?
submit the letter to your insurance company asap as they are looking to make you at fault int he incedent. No they are not looking to make you at fault. They are looking to see who should have paid the medical bills. If car accident, which auto insurance. Yes, contact your car insurance to set up a claim. Once the auto policy/policies utilize all their medical coverage then your health insurance will take over. If your auto pays you cash for your medicals, beware you WILL be contacted by a subrogation analyst because that money is not yours. It's to pay for your medical expenses and you will have to pay your health insurance back. It could take months and months before they find out about it...but they will.

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.
