Heading: Continental's Subrogation Interest

Text: We now turn to Continental's arguments regarding its subrogation interest. Continental contends that the trial court misconstrued Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-112 and applicable case law in arriving at its final judgment. In particular, Continental argues that the trial court erred in 1) failing to enforce Continental's subrogation lien under Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-112(c)(1); 2) refusing to grant Continental credit for its future liability up to the amount of Hickman's third-party recovery; 3) reducing Continental's subrogation interest by the cost of Dr. Bonati's medical treatment; and 4) requiring Continental to reimburse Hickman for a proportionate share of his attorney's fee in settling the third-party action.
