Clause 5-13. Right of subrogation of the insurer to claims by the assured for damages against third parties
View Commentary Go to full Commentary pageIf the assured has a claim against a third party for compensation of a loss, the insurer is, upon payment of compensation to the assured for the loss, subrogated to the rights of the assured against the third party concerned. The rule in Cl. 4-14 shall apply correspondingly.
If the insurer is only partly liable for the loss, the claim for damages shall be divided proportionately between the insurer and the assured. The same applies if compensation for the full loss would be a higher amount if paid by a third party than by the insurer, but the third party is only liable for part of the loss, or the entire amount of loss is not recoverable.
If the insurer's claim produces a higher net amount than it has paid to the assured with the addition of interest, the excess amount shall accrue to the assured.

Clause 5-14. Waiver of claim for damages
