What does it mean to mitigate damages?
Mitigating damages refers to the legal obligation of a party who has suffered harm or loss to take reasonable steps to reduce or minimize that damage. This principle is often applied in tort and contract law, where the injured party must not allow their losses to increase unnecessarily. For example, if someone is injured due to another's negligence, they are expected to seek medical treatment promptly and take other actions to prevent further injury. Failure to mitigate damages can affect the amount of compensation awarded in a legal claim.

The goal is to restore the non-breaching party to the position they would have been in had the breach not occurred. They must typically prove the extent of their damages and may have a duty to mitigate those damages.
