Buck v. Schneidergreen2 sentences2016Minn.Stat. § 548.251, relating to collateral sources, operates to prevent double recoveries while simultaneously protecting injured parties from undercompensation by ensuring that the total amount of collateral sources deducted from the award ex- *356 eludes “amounts plaintiffs] must ultimately pay over to a subrogee.” Buck v. Schneider, 413 N.W.2d 569, 572 (Minn.App.1987); Here, BCBS satisfied all of the claims of Ms. Auers’s medical providers and ' acquired a subrogation claim for the amount it paid to the providers. 2005The Greens suggest that Kahnke’s “failure to mention any subrogation interest prior to trial” renders any subsequent assertion “improper and untimely.” But this issue was addressed in Buck , where this court held that a subrogation claim was properly asserted despite the fact that it was first raised in response to the district court’s collateral-source order. 413 N.W.2d at 571 . | 3 | 3 |

Milbrandt v. American Legion Post of Moragreen2 sentences1989However, this court stated, “the supreme court held that the no-fault carrier’s subrogation claim for basic economic loss benefits paid can be asserted only when the assured has received a double recovery, and only against the insured and not directly against the tortfeasor.” Id. at 756 (citing Milbrandt, 372 N.W.2d at 705-06 ). 1987See Milbrandt v.

Ram Mutual Insurance Co. v. Rohdegreen2 sentences2016Tenants had $300,000 of renters insurance, leaving them personally exposed in the amount of at least $170,000. 1 Both parties agreed that’ the' equitable framework' for deciding whether State Farm could maintain a subrogation claim against Tenants was established by our court in RAM, 820 N.W.2d at 14-16 . 2016Under the factors set forth in RAM Mutual Insurance Co. v.

Westendorf Ex Rel. Westendorf v. Stasson
green
2 sentences1997The PHP policies do not mention “subro-gation.” Although this court has held that a clause in an insurance policy that fails to mention “subrogation” may still serve as a subrogation clause in some respects, Westendorf, 330 N.W.2d at 702 , Medica has not cited any language in the PHP policies that could conceivably function as a subrogation clause. 1994Hershey v. Physicians Health Plan, 498 N.W.2d 519, 520-21 (Minn.App.1993) (citing Westendorf v. Stasson, 330 N.W.2d 699 (Minn.1983)). | 3 | 1985–1997 |
