Subrogation - Conflict of Interests.

 

March 10, 1980

 

It is not improper for an attorney to represent an insured in a personal

injury case against an uninsured motorist and at the same time represent

the insured's insurance carrier against the uninsured motorist under the

subrogation provisions of the insurance contract. (Assuming full

disclosure and consent by the carrier and the insured.) [See II: DR:5-

105(C).]
