Primary Text
If the plaintiff's property has been insured,
and he has received indemnity from the insurance
company for the injury or loss arising out of the wrong or
breach of contract complained of, the insurance
company shall be subrogated to the rights of the insured
against the wrongdoer or the person who has violated
the contract. If the amount paid by the insurance
company does not fully cover the injury or loss, the
aggrieved party shall be entitled to recover the deficiency
from the person causing the loss or injury.
