Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As long as necessary after an accident, the employer shall furnish or cause to be furnished, free of charge to the injured employee, a physician ... and such other necessary medical attention.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“the [Workers’ Compensation Commission may] assess an employer who has defended any proceeding without reasonable grounds the whole costs of the proceedings, including a reasonable attorney’s fee. Assessment of costs and attorney’s fee is not required in every defense of a proceeding without reasonable grounds. Assessment is left to the sound discretion of the Commission. We will not disturb the administrative assessment of costs or attorney’s fees unless there is an abuse of discretion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A long-held principle of the . . . Commission ... is that medical management of the [employee] is to be directed by the treating physician, not by an employer’s representative. “[N] either the employer nor its insurance carrier may limit the treating physician in the medical specialist, or treating facilities to which the [employee] may be referred for treatment.””
