What constitutes reasonable mitigation and why do I have to do that?

Reasonable Mitigation will be determined by the facts and circumstances of your claim. You should take steps to minimize the extent of loss, where possible, as to not create additional damages. This may include filing a claim with your insurance company or paying for some repairs out-of-pocket while the investigation is ongoing.  You should retain photographs, estimates, and receipts related to any mitigation efforts.
