Definition of direct loss

Definition: A loss that results immediately and proximately from an event.

Examples:

If a car is damaged in an accident, the cost of repairing the car is a direct loss.
If a tree falls on a house during a storm, the cost of repairing the damage to the house is a direct loss.

These examples illustrate direct loss because they are the immediate and direct result of an event (car accident, storm). The cost of repairing the car or house is a direct consequence of the event that caused the damage.

Simple Definition

Direct loss is when something bad happens right away because of an event. For example, if a tree falls on your house during a storm and damages it, that's a direct loss. It's easy to see and understand what caused the loss. Direct loss is different from consequential loss, which is when something bad happens as a result of the direct loss. For example, if the tree falling on your house causes a power outage and you lose all the food in your fridge, that's a consequential loss.
