Definitions

As a true / pure financial loss refers to situations in which suffers neither a person nor a cause immediate damage, owing to negligence of a third party financial damages but was compounded. Such financial losses are not part of the usual private liability or public liability insurance. Instead, separate financial loss liability insurance is required to cover damage . In addition to the business liability risk, professional liability insurance always covers real financial losses via the financial loss liability insurance component. The fake pecuniary loss, on the other hand, is the consequential loss from personal injury or property damage. If, for example, a computer's hard drive has been damaged by water damage (= property damage ), the loss of data or the necessary costly data restoration represent consequential damage (or spurious financial loss).
