An insurer brought an action seeking reimbursement from a third party after paying damages to its insured following a traffic accident caused by the third party's fault; the court rejected the insurer's appeal, reasoning that the insurer's right to subrogation against the tortfeasor is strictly contingent upon the injured party's right to indemnification, and in this instance, the injured party had formally waived any right to compensation from the tortfeasor, thereby extinguishing the basis for the insurer's subrogated claim.
