subrogor
A subrogor is a person whose legal rights are taken over by another (the subrogee) through subrogation, usually after the subrogee pays a debt or expense related to a claim. For example, an insured person becomes a subrogor when their insurer pays a claim and then gains the right to pursue the party responsible for the loss.
