Property Subrogation Forum

The Property Subrogation Forum addresses claims (not in excess of $100,000) involving fire, extended coverage, inland marine coverage or other first party property insurance.

The following reflect the variety of controversies submitted to this program:
  • A dispute between an insurer of an apartment's contents and the insurer of a restaurant that catches fire and spreads to the apartment.
  • A dispute between the insurer of a boat which breaks loose from the trailer while being lowered into the water, and the insurer of the dock which sustains major damage by the boat.
  • A dispute between the insurer of an office building and insurers of two automobiles which strike the building after colliding with each other.
  • An insurer of an independent contractor and an insurer of a business owner turn to Property Subrogation Arbitration to determine the liability for damages caused by an oil tank which explodes while the contractor is performing repairs on the premises.

Property Coming to TRS in August
