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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An employee is considered totally disabled within the meaning of the compensation act when he is unable to perform without pain the regular and usual duties of the occupation in which the injury was sustained, that is, to perform work of the same or similar character to that in which engaged at the time of the accident. Reed v. Calcasieu Paper Co., 233 La. 747 , 98 So.2d 175 ; Brannon v. Zurich Gen. Acc. & Liab. Ins. Co., 224 La. 161 , 69 So.2d 1 ; Thomas v. Crown-Zellerbach Corp., La.App. 1 Cir., 101 So.2d 478 . The latter case also holds, with appropriate citation of authority, 101 So.2d 482 : `Where a claimant is totally disabled at the time of trial, and the evidence does not indicate the duration of disability or is conflicting as to whether the disability is permanent or temporary, compensation should be awarded for the maximum number of weeks, since the defendant employer is protected by the provision permitting revision of the judgment after six months should the disability terminate or lessen.'" (Emphasis supplied.)”
