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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under the workmen’s compensation law, reimbursement for the full amount of compensation properly paid by employer to employee’s dependent, with the employer’s expenses for making recovery of damages to that extent from a third person whose negligence caused the death of the employee, is the measure of the employer’s statutory right to subrogation. . . . Innocent employers who are required to compensate employees for injuries are intentionally granted a measure of relief equivalent to the compensation paid and the expenses incurred, where a third person negligently causes the loss and responds in damages to that extent.”
