«Dommage aux biens» s'oppose à «dommage à la personne» (personal damage) et comprend deux catégories particulières : le «dommage physique» (physical damage) qui se distingue de la «perte purement financière» (pure economic loss). Dans certains contextes anglais, «physical damage» se confond avec «property damage» et peut se rendre en français par le même équivalent «dommage aux biens». 3, record 1, French, - dommage%20aux%20biens
