As we have discussed in prior blog posts, injured claimants have a legal duty to mitigate their injuries and losses from motor vehicle accidents. In other words, injured claimants have an obligation and a responsibility to take reasonable steps to minimize their losses such as by following medical advice.

Less common are situations where ICBC argues that an overweight injured claimant has failed to mitigate by not losing weight after a motor vehicle accident.
