Internal recourse occurs when a party (insurer, carrier, forwarder) seeks reimbursement from another party within its own corporate group or subcontractor after paying a claim or indemnity. Unlike external recourse against third parties, internal recourse targets associated entities or subsidiaries within the same business structure. In logistics practice, carriers and forwarders use internal recourse to allocate loss costs to the responsible subcontractor or liable branch office, thereby managing liability internally.
