Duty to mitigate loss

The duty not to increase an existing loss unnecessarily.

In brief

The injured party must take reasonable steps to avoid further loss. This does not require taking every economic or personal risk.

What is reasonable depends on the loss, urgency, cost and personal circumstances.
