regressansvarlig

Regressansvarlig is a term used in insurance, liability management, and related fields to describe the party responsible for handling recourse actions after a claim has been paid. Regress in this context refers to the right of the payer—often an insurer or a company that has indemnified an employee or customer—to seek reimbursement from at-fault parties, their insurers, or other liable entities. The regressansvarlig therefore oversees the subrogation or recourse process and ensures recoveries are pursued efficiently and in accordance with relevant law and policy.

Typical duties of a regressansvarlig include identifying potential targets for recourse, assessing liability and the amount eligible for reimbursement, and coordinating with legal counsel or external advisors. The role involves preparing and maintaining documentation, negotiating settlements or pursuing formal subrogation actions, and monitoring deadlines and statutes of limitations. It also encompasses managing correspondence, tracking progress, and arranging the transfer of any recovered funds to the party that paid the original claim. Depending on the organization, the regressansvarlig can be an internal function within claims or risk management, or it can be carried out by a contracted third-party administrator.

Context and variation: the exact scope and designation of the role vary by country, contract, and industry. In many cases, the underlying concept aligns with subrogation or recourse, with the regressansvarlig as the primary actor responsible for driving those processes, ensuring that recovery opportunities are explored and realized where appropriate.
