A collision mitigation device sets an actuation condition indicating a condition for actuating a collision mitigating section configured to mitigate collision damage when an own vehicle is in a collision. A target object is positioned near the own vehicle and detected. The collision mitigating section is actuated when a positional relationship between the own vehicle and the target object meets the actuation condition. The collision mitigation device recognizes an own vehicle traveling segment that indicates a traveling segment of a road on which the own vehicle is traveling, and recognizes whether or not the target object is present within the own vehicle traveling segment. The actuation condition is relaxed in such a manner that the collision mitigating section is more easily actuated when the target object is present within the own vehicle traveling segment, compared to when the target object is not present within the own vehicle traveling segment.
