Portuguese term or phrase: AGENTE DE SINISTRO
Prezados Colegas,

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para AGENTE DE SINISTRO no seguinte contexto:

"PARTE: XXX, operando sob o nome de XXX com sede na XXX inscrita sob o número de licença XXX, representada para este fim pelo abaixo assinado, conforme estipulado em seu Estatuto Social, doravante denominado simplesmente AGENTE DE SINISTRO."

Seria o AGENTE DE SINISTRO o mesmo que "analista de sinistro", ou seja, um "claims handler"?

Não consegui encontrar em nenhum site a definição de AGENTE DE SINISTRO.

Desde já agradeço sua valiosíssima ajuda!!

Mais uma citação do Barron's insurance:
INDEPENDENT ADJUSTER independent contractor who adjusts claims for different insurance companies. Such services are used by insurance companies whose financial resources or volume of claims do not warrant employing their own in-house adjusters.

Creio que INDEPENDENT ADJUSTER seria mais condizente com o contexto.

Explanation:
"Sinistro" is the accident itself, in my opinion, not quite the "claim"

Segundo a SUSEP (www.susep.gov.br):
AGENTE: Representante da Seguradora, autorizado pela mesma a intermediar operações de seguro diretamente com o segurado interessado. Pode ser pessoa física ou jurídica. (Circular SUSEP 291/05).
REGULADOR: É o técnico indicado pelos Seguradores para proceder à liquidação dos sinistros. (Circular SUSEP 354/07).

Por isso, acredito que agente=agent e regulador=adjuster.
