A direct cause is when you can determine beforehand the result: for example a car accident makes a dent on the car, or injures the passengers.
An indirect cause is a chain of effects, that are difficult or impossible to predict. Usually the chain involves a human factor.
For example a car accident injures a person, the person then becomes depressed and later kills herself.
or maybe the accident affects emotinally someone of the helpers, who then decides to change jobs.
direct cause: I fall on poison ivy -> I get itchy rash
indirect cause: I fall on poison ivy -> I get itchy rash, I scratch itching rash -> it starts bleeding aka indirect cause: 'falling on poison ivy makes my hand bleed'
