This electronic "Handbook" summarizes laws across the nation that control the ability of a workers compensation insurer to recover benefits paid to an injured worker through the doctrine of subrogation. All information was verified from published official sources before publication. However, space limitations make it impossible to list all the exceptions and conditions that may govern a particular case. In addition, statutes and court interpretations may change at any time. The need for current information is more critical than ever, as tort reform has become a national issue. Therefore, decisions on individual cases should be based on current information and advice of counsel. In short, this Handbook should be the starting point for guidance, not a basis for final decisions.
