Waiver of Subrogation

Subrogation refers to an insurer stepping into the insured's rights to recover from a responsible third party after paying a loss; a waiver of subrogation is a contractual agreement to waive those recovery rights (often to reduce litigation between project parties). It is common in property and liability risk allocation in real estate operations.
