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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is well recognized that the Workmen's Compensation Law is so administered that formal pleadings, such as attorneys are versed in preparing, are quite unnecessary in order to activate the question of an employee's right to compensation and other benefits under the Act, and that any paper lodged with the Commission indicating a probability that the employee had not received such compensation or benefits is treated as a `claim' and processed as such in the same manner as if it were filed with all the niceties of expert legal attention." 110 So.2d at 433 .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“"We take notice of the fact that despite the provision of the statute regarding the content of a claim for compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law, in actual practice a simple letter to the Commission advising of a claimant's belief that he is entitled to compensation is treated as a claim and activates the processing of the matter as such."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The respondent insists, in effect, that the written `notice' required by Section 440.18, supra, is the equivalent of the written `claim' required by and referred to in the other above-quoted sections of Chapter 440 and, a fortiori, that actual notice of injury, as existed here, is the equivalent of actually filing a written `claim' as contemplated by Section 440.19 (1) (c), supra. We are unable to accept that argument which neither dispels the clear language of the statutes nor provides a logical explanation for the substantial duplication of the data which Section 440.18(2) requires the employee to furnish in the `notice' of injury with that which Section 440.19(1) (c) requires him to furnish if and when he files a `claim' for compensation. The distinction between the notice and the claim under these separate sections is recognized as having an important practical effect in administering the Workmen's Compensation Law.”
