Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Subrogation is the assumption by a third party (such as a second creditor or an insurance company) of another party's legal right to collect debts or damages.[1] It is a legal doctrine whereby one person is entitled to enforce the subsisting or revived rights of another for one's own benefit.[2] A right of subrogation typically arises by operation of law, but can also arise by statute or by agreement. Subrogation is an equitable remedy, having first developed in the English Court of Chancery. It is a familiar feature of common law systems. Analogous doctrines exist in civil law jurisdictions.
Subrogation is a relatively specialised field of physical development; entire legal textbooks are devoted to the subject.[3][4]
