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.
You win some, you lose some, and some you just bill by the hour.

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.
Law school is a lot like juggling. With chainsaws. While on a unicycle.
