Article L124-1-1 of the French Insurance Code

For the purposes of this chapter, a claim is any loss or damage or a series of losses or damage caused to third parties for which the insured is liable, resulting from a harmful event and giving rise to one or more claims. The harmful event is the cause of the damage. A series of harmful events with the same technical cause is treated as a single harmful event.
