Bus/Financial - Insurance
Portuguese term or phrase: sinistro
Sei que há várias respostas no Kudoz, mas não fiquei satisfeito com elas. Encontrei "casualty", "loss", "accident" e "claim".
Fiquei entre "casualty" e "loss".
Mas e quando, no mesmo texto, tivermos "sinistro" e "perda"? Dúvida cruel....
Agradeço pela ajuda. Se for possível mencionar algumas referências, seria ótimo!

Explanation:
Depende muito do contexto mas esta referência é bem interessante já que se trata justamente sobre essa (e outras) traduções da área. Espero que ajude.

"An interesting counterpoint to “risco” is the concept of “loss” and how it is treated in Brazil. Whereas “risco” covers more concepts than does its cognate “risk,” the concept of “loss” requires a variety of words in Brazil. As noted, “loss” in “first-loss policy or insurance” is “risco” and “loss” in “loss limit” is “indenização” or sometimes “perda.” Loss in “insured loss” is “sinistro,” which can also mean “claim,” but loss in “balance sheet loss” is “prejuízo.”"
