Una advertencia
Explanation:
Le puse mi agree a Carmen y a Peter, pero en algunos contextos cuando en español se usa "siniestro" en inglés las aseguradoras usan "claim".

Por ejemplo:

Departamento de Siniestros = Claim Department

liquidador de siniestros = claim adjuster

denuncia de siniestro = claim report

Y hay muchísimos otros casos. Por eso te sugiero que elijas bien en función de tu contexto.

casualty


Explanation:
I agree with María del Carmen's suggestions, except "accident," which insurance companies in the U.S. no longer use, but thought I'd provide you with yet another option. (Might fit in your context, but you hardly gave us any clues to work with.)
