Opinion
FYBEL, J.
I. Introduction
Did the trial court err in denying the motion of State Farm General Insurance Company (State Farm) for leave to intervene in a construction defect lawsuit brought by State Farm’s insureds, Douglas M. Hodge and Kylie Schuyler Hodge (the Hodges), against third party tortfeasors? State Farm obtained partial subrogation rights against the third parties by paying a portion of the Hodges’- claims for property damage to their house. We hold State Farm has a statutory right to intervene under Code of Civil Procedure section 387, subdivision (b) and therefore reverse.
