recoverer
Person gaining back
A recoverer is one who recovers—whether retrieving something lost, regaining health, or bouncing back from setback.
The word appears in legal and insurance contexts for someone seeking to recover damages or property: The recoverer in the lawsuit was awarded full compensation.
In everyday use, it often describes someone healing from illness or addiction.
