Finley Wilson · Answer 1

Answer: A. requires the plaintiff to do so without undue risk, expense, or humiliation.

Explanation:

When a person is injured through the negligence of another person, the person injured often has an obligation to take reasonable steps to minimize the effects and loss related to his or her injuries. This obligation includes seeking other employment and/or retraining when person's usual line of work is no longer feasible. In a personal injury case a defendant will often try to minimize the amount of damages the plaintiff may recover by showing that the plaintiff refused to take necessary steps to reduce his or her loss after the incident that lead to the injury

Answer:A. requires the plaintiff to do so without undue risk, expense, or humiliation.

Explanation: Mitigation of Risks is the various steps taken a person or an organisation to reduce the impact or effect of risk, this can be done by the affected person or the victim who was affected by the negligence or criminal act of another.

The duty to mitigate risks by a victim ensures that the victim or the plaintiff do so without undue risk, expense and humiliation. When mitigating risk, the plaintiff and the Defendant has the obligation to work in such a way as to reduce the impacts of such damages.
