compensator
Explanation:
My confidence is low because I'm assuming the writer stretched it a bit here, and think it simply means the entity that "made it all better", i.e. paid up, therefore compensator, or if you have a better term for such an entity

I'd already sent this before I got any answers (rush rush rush!!!) so they had to make do with my leaning at the time (which was 'benefactor' - with a note to indicate my doubt).

Perhaps it's merely "beneficiary" ?

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks Itzik, when it's coupled with "נזק" it's quite an obscure term (not many hits), none of my legal dictionaries list it and research online hasn't shone much light so I'm happy to hear any ideas, no matter how uncertain :-)
