What is the voluntary relinquishment by the insurer or self-insurer of the right to recover from a third party?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Subrogation is the insurer's right to seek recovery from a responsible third party after paying a loss. A waiver of subrogation clause means the insurer (or self-insured entity) gives up that recovery right, usually to support business relationships and reduce litigation between contracting parties. Risk financing objectives include understanding when waivers are acceptable (balanced against increased retained loss), ensuring the waiver aligns with insurance policy endorsements, and preventing unintended coverage gaps. Poorly managed waivers can shift costs back onto the organization and complicate recovery efforts. Contracts should be reviewed to ensure the waiver is mutual when appropriate and consistent with the organization's risk appetite and insurance program.

I thought underwriting was related to this too, but I guess not!

Yeah, coinsurance is something else entirely.

I'm confused between A and C. I know underwriting is related to risk assessment, but I can't shake the feeling that it could be relevant here too.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about subrogation too. A) Waiver of subrogation seems correct.

I remember something about coinsurance, but I don't think that's the right term for this question.

I think the answer might be A) Waiver of subrogation, but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our notes.
