- Insured Made Whole Doctrine: Texas and Washington8.20.24
This episode of Subro Sessions, hosted by associates Zachariah Sigda and Katherine Dempsey, entitled, “Insured Made Whole Doctrine: Texas and Washington State,” dives into the topic of the made whole doctrine. Zachariah and Katherine define the made whole doctrine and explain how the doctrine applies in both Texas and Washington state courts, using those states to show how the doctrine can vary state-to-state. Thus, it is important for subrogation professionals to consider the made whole doctrine before pursuing recovery.
