debt, demand, or right to an insurance claim, so that he or she who is substituted succeeds to the rights of the other in
relation to said debt or claim, accompanied by the transfer of any associated rights or remedies. Legal subrogation arises by
operation of common law doctrine. The purpose of this subrogation agreement is to compel the ultimate payment of a debt
by the party who, in equity and good conscience, should pay the debt of my vehicles repair. This subrogation agreement is
an equitable device used to avoid injustice.
