damage or claim Explanation: A "sinistre" is a damage (to be compensated) from the insurer's point of view. Il is also a claim because a "sinistre" exists only when the policyholder sends a claim, and an occurence, an accident or a loss. Drawn from translating experience, LGDT and "L'anglais des assureurs" (Luce James, Belin Éditeur). HTH |
