An Act concerning equitable allocation of recovery proceeds for subrogation claims
This bill modifies how insurance companies and injured individuals split money recovered from third parties in personal injury cases in Massachusetts. It ensures that the portion of a settlement or judgment taken by an insurer to cover previously paid medical benefits is proportional to the total value of the injured person's damages. Additionally, the law allows courts to reduce an insurer's claim if the total recovery is less than the full amount of damages, and it provides a process for disputing the fairness of these financial allocations.
