indirect losses

Indirect losses are damages that happen not directly from an incident but as a consequence of it. For example, if a factory fire causes production to halt, the factory's lost profits or the expenses of delayed orders are indirect losses. These are the additional financial impacts that occur because of the primary damage or event, often affecting related areas like reputation, future earnings, or third parties affected indirectly. Understanding these helps in assessing the full extent of an incident's impact beyond immediate physical damage.
