Subrogation & Recovery | Derrevere Stevens Black & Cozad

Aggressive Advocacy to Maximize Recovery and Drive Accountability

At Derrevere Stevens Black & Cozad, we partner with insurance carriers to pursue subrogation claims that hold responsible parties accountable and recover substantial losses. Our attorneys have decades of experience handling subrogation matters of all sizes — from everyday property losses to complex, multi-party litigation involving catastrophic damage. We manage every phase of the process, from rapid-response investigations and evidence preservation to negotiation, litigation, and trial. Our goal is always to maximize recovery while advancing our clients’ broader interests in safety, deterrence, and cost containment.

Subrogation is more than a financial tool — it’s a mechanism for accountability and industry improvement. Our attorneys have successfully pursued claims against product manufacturers, contractors, property owners, co-insurers, and other liable parties. We routinely handle cases involving product defects, negligent maintenance, construction failures, breaches of contract, and indemnity or contribution claims under both contractual and common law theories. In every matter, we collaborate closely with carriers and adjusters to ensure seamless communication, efficient resolution, and client satisfaction. We also work to recover insured deductibles where applicable, helping carriers support their policyholders in the process.

With over 25 years of subrogation experience, we understand what drives value in these claims — early investigation, precise legal analysis, and aggressive but practical advocacy. Our team knows how to manage technical, expert-driven cases across a wide range of loss types, and we pride ourselves on being responsive, results-focused partners to the insurance industry. Whether pursuing recovery after a fire, flood, equipment failure, or construction loss, we are committed to securing results that make a difference.
