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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That [plaintiff's] injuries would have been minimal but for the [City's] negligence . . . is of no moment. It was only through [plaintiff's] negligence that [he] was placed in a position to be harmed by the negligence of the [City]. This was sufficient for comparative negligence to apply, even if [plaintiff] would not have suffered any harm, but for the [City's] fault.”
