Subrogation

Experienced Subrogation and Recovery Services

Mintzer Sarowitz Zeris & Willis’ national subrogation and recovery practice focuses on meeting the needs of insurance carriers and self-insured companies on a national basis. Our lawyers combine extensive experience with deep industry insight to secure optimal recoveries for our clients. We assist clients in a wide variety of subrogation cases, ranging from fire-related property losses to products liability to automobile accidents.   We team with numerous TPA’s and carriers to review their pending and closed files for potential subrogation claims. Often, we bring forth matters not considered recoverable by our clients.

At MSZ&W, we understand that legal costs are of paramount consideration in subrogation cases. Our attorneys partner with clients to develop strategies that maximize recoveries while maintaining a low-cost structure. Recognizing that our clients come to us with specific objectives and expectations dependent upon the nature of case, our firm takes a flexible approach to fee arrangements in subrogation matters. We handle these cases on either a contingency or hourly fee basis, fashioning a win-win experience for our clients.

Property Claims

Whether your loss arises from a fire, explosion, water, collapse, subsidence, or other peril we have a national team of experts that are at the forefront of their specialties assisting us in our goal of recovery.  We have worked with clients in responding to catastrophic events such as the Texas Freeze in February 2021, instituting new protocols with clients to involve subrogation upon receipt of the First Notice of Loss.  Complying within our clients needs and expectations rather than asking clients to comply with our needs is the hallmark of our practice.

Automobile/Trucking Claims

Whether automobile, commercial trucking, or cargo claims, we understand the needs of both the carriers and many self insureds in asserting a strong claim and recovering not only the physical damage, but also the cargo loss, downtime claim, trailer claim, and other related damages incurred.  Many times there may be  contractual claims that are available to the client that are overlooked. 

Workers Compensation Claims

MSL&W has been making multi-million dollar recoveries in the Workers Compensation subrogation field across the country.  We have worked diligently with our clients to implement a gold standard of practice management that maximizes recoveries while managing costs and risks.  We have trained numerous subrogation departments and adjusters on identifying losses, facilitating recoveries without counsel when possible, and how to aggressively and creatively negotiate settlements outside the box.

Our Attorneys Stay Current and Are Leaders In This Field

In addition to working to secure maximum recoveries for our clients, our attorneys are highly visible in the field, speaking at seminars and writing articles on new trends and developments impacting subrogation and recovery matters.
