Watch the video and then discuss the advice you would offer before comparing your ideas with those suggested.

Suggestions

  • A claimant who has suffered a loss because of a tort is entitled to damages for any losses. However, a claimant is expected to take reasonable steps to mitigate any losses.
  • If your refusal of help is regarded as negligent, you can only recover the damage caused by the collision and not the sinking of your ship because you failed to mitigate your losses.
