SUBRO LAW CORNER
TEXAS MUT. INS. CO. v. LEDBETTER
(Texas, April 4, 2008)
OSBORNE v. JAUREGUI, INC.
(Texas App., April 17, 2008)
Two recent Texas appellate decisions supported subrogation rights in the workers compensation and property contexts. In Texas Mutual, the Texas Supreme Court upheld the “insurer gets first dollar” standards of the Texas Workers Compensation subrogation statute (even in the face of an effort to structure the recovery so as to avoid statutory subrogation protection). In Osborne, an appellate court supported a subrogation clause in a property insurance policy that limited the “made whole” doctrine, and then equitably provided for a full carrier recovery.
