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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The ruling of the lower court was correct. In Overstreet v. Ober et al, supra [ 14 La.App. 633 , 130 So. 648 ], this court held that a plaintiff, suing defendants in solido for personal injuries, may introduce testimony fixing responsibility on both or either ([LSA] Civ.Code, arts. 2091, 2324), and defendants may introduce testimony to negative allegations of fault charged against them, and testimony introduced by either of the defendants sued in solido, if admissible, is part of the whole case and properly considered in determining the liability.””
