Salvage

When an insurer pays a claim, they may take over damaged property in order to minimize their loss. This is known as salvage. Insurers have salvage rights over property they have paid claims on, including cars that have been badly damaged. In some cases, insurers may even have the right to recover sunken treasures from cargoes lost at sea. The costs associated with recovering this property are known as salvage charges. It is important for insurers to carefully consider salvage options in order to effectively manage their losses.
