What National Subrogation Services does

National Subrogation Services (NSS) is a U.S. subrogation and recovery services firm founded in 2000 as an ancillary business of Cozen O'Connor, an Am Law 100 law firm with more than 825 attorneys. The firm helps insurance carriers, third-party administrators, self-insured entities, risk pools, and municipalities identify, score, prioritize, and pursue recovery of losses from third parties across property, auto, workers' compensation, inland marine, and specialty lines. NSS has recovered over $1 billion for clients cumulatively and reports a 71% gross recovery ratio, operating exclusively on a contingent-fee basis with total or partial outsourcing options.

NSS's service is delivered through two proprietary technology platforms combined with a human analyst workforce of roughly 80-100 dedicated subrogation experts averaging 15+ years of industry experience. SubroSpeed™ applies predictive analytics, machine learning, and NLP/text mining to score recovery likelihood across millions of claims and continuously re-analyze claim files as new notes are added. Subroforce™, powered by Gigaforce, automates the broader subrogation lifecycle—including liability analysis, demand package generation, payment reconciliation, and an AI assistant for arbitration contentions—and integrates directly with Guidewire, Duck Creek, and Origami claims platforms. Operations are SOC 1 Type 2 certified, supported by a proprietary Type C symmetric stream cipher, with no public cloud and no offshoring.

The business model is entirely contingent: NSS charges only on recoveries (no-recovery, no-fee), aligning incentives with client outcomes. Distribution is direct enterprise sales led by Co-Directors Jerry Nolan and Dan D'Imperio, supplemented by industry-event presence (PAMIC Claims Summit, NJ League of Municipalities, International Car Rental Show) and a content-marketing flywheel anchored by a public subrogation resource library. Customer relationships are long-tenured, averaging 10 years and frequently exceeding 20 years, and NSS maintains 50-state jurisdictional expertise backed by in-house legal resources through its Cozen O'Connor parent.

Core offering

National Subrogation Services recovers funds for insurance carriers, third-party administrators, self-insured entities, and municipalities by identifying, investigating, and pursuing subrogation claims across property, auto, workers' compensation, and inland marine lines of business. Services are delivered on a contingent-fee basis (no recovery, no fee) with full-portfolio or targeted outsourcing options, backed by proprietary AI-driven technology platforms (SubroSpeed™ and Subroforce™) and a 100% U.S.-based team of 80+ dedicated subrogation analysts.

Product overview

National Subrogation Services offers a dual-platform technology strategy centered on two proprietary products: SubroSpeed™ and Subroforce™. SubroSpeed™ is an AI-powered claims analysis and prioritization platform that uses predictive analytics and text mining to identify and score recovery opportunities across large claim portfolios. Subroforce™ is an end-to-end subrogation management platform powered by Gigaforce that automates the entire subrogation lifecycle including liability analysis, demand package creation, and payment reconciliation. Both platforms work together—SubroSpeed identifies and prioritizes opportunities while Subroforce manages the execution and workflow—providing a comprehensive technology solution for insurers, self-insured entities, and third-party administrators seeking to maximize subrogation recovery rates.
