Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
assurance directe : L'emploi de l'adjectif «direct» appliqué à un risque R.C. déroge, en ce qui concerne la branche auto, et à elle seule, à la tradition du langage assurantiel qui qualifie d'«indirects» les risques R.C., notamment en incendie. Il en résulte une déplorable confusion. [...] Ce qui précède suffit à condamner l'acception du mot «directe» dans la branche automobile [...] 4, record 3, French, - assurance%20responsabilit%C3%A9%20civile%20automobile
