Property Subrogation Recovery Strategist
Maximize property damage subrogation recovery with data-driven strategies
What You Can Do
This skill analyzes property damage claims to identify viable subrogation opportunities against third-party defendants. It quantifies recovery potential using liability assessment, damages analysis, and comparable settlement benchmarks—then develops negotiation-backed strategies to maximize your recovery. The skill guides you through intake, documentation, negotiation, and settlement workflows to transform claims into recoveries.

Builds compelling negligence, breach of contract, and statutory liability arguments with supporting factual details.
Creates phased negotiation approach with opening demand, negotiation targets, and settlement authority tied to liability strength.
Organizes and sequences damage evidence, repair estimates, and business interruption losses for maximum persuasiveness in settlement discussions.
Manages complete subrogation process from claim intake through investigation, demand, negotiation, and settlement closure with decision checkpoints.
References similar property damage settlements by claim type to calibrate recovery expectations and defend your settlement authority.
Anticipates common third-party liability defenses and provides prewritten rebuttals to strengthen your negotiation position.
Example Output
Example 1: Water Damage Subrogation Analysis
Claim: $125,000 water damage from broken supply line at commercial property Defendant: Plumbing contractor hired for maintenance
Claude Analysis:
- Liability: Strong (contractor negligence, failure to inspect)
- Recovery Potential: $95,000-$115,000 (defendant carries $1M general liability)
- Strategy: Open demand at $125,000; settle authority to $90,000
- Timeline: 45-60 days for settlement negotiation
Example 2: Fire Loss Recovery Calculation
Claim: $450,000 warehouse fire, materials + business interruption Defendant: Adjacent tenant's faulty electrical work
Claude Analysis:
- Liability: Moderate-to-strong (proximate cause established, negligent installation)
- Recovery Range: $280,000-$380,000 (defendant's $500K policy limit)
- Comparable: Similar electrical fire case settled at 68% of damages
- Negotiation phases: Demand → 3-4 counter-exchanges → mediation if needed
Example 3: Motor Vehicle Collision Settlement Strategy
Claim: $85,000 property damage + contents from delivery van collision Defendant: Commercial driver at fault per police report
Claude Analysis:
- Liability: Clear (at-fault driver, commercial carrier coverage)
- Recovery Potential: $78,000-$85,000 (minimal defense arguments)
- Workflow: Send demand within 10 days; expect response in 20-30 days
- Risk: Minimal; proceed to settlement authority immediately
