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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]ny person injured by the violation of any statute may recover from the offender such damages as he may sustain by reason of the violation....”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The jury should not in any manner be apprised of the fact that the defendant is protected by indemnity insurance, and such action on the part of plaintiff or his counsel will ordinarily constitute reversible error, notwithstanding the court may instruct the jury not to consider the same in arriving at a verdict.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“if you believe by a preponderance of the evidence in this case that Larry Vance did `electrical work' for hire then you may find that Larry Vance, at least, was guilty of negligence, unless there is sufficient evidence to rebut such presumption.”
