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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The workers’ compensation judge may exceed the maximum amount [of attorney fees] stated in this subsection ... if he finds that a claimant, an insurer or an employer acted in bad faith with regard to handling the injured worker’s claim and the injured worker or employer has suffered economic loss as a result. However, in no case shall this additional amount exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). As used in this subsection, “bad faith” means conduct ... that amounts to fraud, malice, oppression or willful, wanton or reckless disregard of the rights of the worker or employer.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“is the result of a legislative balancing involving the subjection of employers to liability without fault for work-related injuries suffered by workers, with a limitation restricting other actions against employers under the exclusivity provisions contained therein.”
