Twisting: Illegal practice of inducing a policy-owner to drop an existing policy in one company and take out a new policy in another through misrepresentation or incomplete information.

Subrogation: Substitution of the insurer in place of the insured for the purpose of claiming indemnity from a negligent third party for a loss covered by insurance.
