Avoidable consequences rule in United States
Avoidable consequences rule
This rule is the mirror of the rule of consequential damages (Folgeschaden). Although the plaintiff has a right to all damages stemming from the defendants tortious conduct, they also have a duty to take reasonable steps necessary to prevent consequential damages.
