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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“". . . If, considering the instructions as a whole, they fully and fairly instruct the jury as to every material fact in controversy, they will be considered as sufficient. Error in any particular instruction will not justify a reversal unless it be of such a nature as to vitiate the whole charge to the jury and such charge is vitiated only when the instruction is so erroneous that it must be concluded that the jurors have been misled as to the law of the case. Hough v. Miller (1942), 112 Ind. App. 138 , 44 N. E. 2d 228 ; Jones v. Kasper (1941), 109 Ind. App. 465 , 33 N. E. 2d 816 ; Koeneman v . Aldridge (1954), 125 Ind. App. 176 , 122 N. E. 2d 345 .””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““[i]t is well settled that one who is lawfully using a public highway, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, has the right to assume that others using it in common with him will use ordinary care to avoid injuring him, nor is such motorist bound to anticipate and safeguard against violations of statutory law or negligent operation by other motorists upon the highway.” (citations omitted)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““. . . [T]he instruction merely refers to certain facts, without assuming that they have been found, and instructs the jury as to the law applicable if these facts are found by the jury, which is entirely within the province of the trial court.” 125 Ind. App. at 581 .”
