Spanish term

Afectación catastrófica

Spanish to English Other Insurance
Anybody knows what this term refers to? and how to translate it?

el sistema debe seleccionar la porción asumida por la compañía (Retención) del negocio proporcional que tuvo la AFECTACIÓN CATASTRÓFICA, la cual será aplicada para obtener el valor base de reaseguro para la distribución del exceso de pérdida.

and if you don't mind, I'm not sure about the Exceso de Perdida part either.

Thank you ver much.

Está relacionado con la liquidación de siniestros no-proporcionales, pero en realidad no se que tipo de seguro es.
Christine Walsh Jan 8, 2010:
Qué tipo de seguro? Porque existe por ejemplo el 'catastrophe insurance'
philgoddard Jan 8, 2010:
"Exceso de perdida" is excess loss. This should be a separate question reallly.

catastrophe reinsurance

The company retains some of the risk, and assigns or cedes a proportion to the reinsurer. I think the"afectación" refers to the proportion ceded.

Wikipedia:
Extended coverage is a term used in the property insurance business. All insurance policies have exclusions - specific causes of loss (also called "perils") that are not covered by the insurance company. An Extended coverage endorsement(EC) was a common extension of property insurance beyond coverage for fire and lightning. Extended coverage added insurance against loss by the perils of windstorm, hail, explosion, civil commotion, riot and riot attending a strike, aircraft damage, vehicle damage, and smoke damage. The endorsement has been largely supplanted by what is referred to as "basic" causes-of-loss form first introduced by Insurance Services Office in 1986 as part of its simplified language revisions. The basic form includes most of the perils previously provided by fire and extended coverage and it adds vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage damage, sinkhole collapse, and volcanic action.
