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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An “emergency situation” has been defined by our courts as that which “compels [defendant] to act instantly to avoid a collision or injury . . . .” For the doctrine to apply, the jury must first find that “in fact a sudden emergency did exist” and second, that “the emergency was in fact not brought on by the negligence of the defendant.””
