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.
“"While service on regular hours at a stated place generally begins at that place, there is always room for agreement by which the service may be taken to begin earlier or elsewhere. Service in extra hours or on special errands has an element of distinction which the employer may recognize by agreeing that such service shall commence when the employee leaves his home on the duty assigned to him and shall continue until his return. An agreement to that effect may be either express or be shown by the course of business. In such case the hazards of the journey may properly be regarded as hazards of the service, and hence within the purview of the Compensation Act." (Emphasis added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The cases generally hold that for an injury to arise out of and in the course of one’s employment, there must be some causal connection between the injury and the employment or it must have had its origin in some risk incident to or connected with the employment or that it flowed from it as a natural consequence. Another definition widely approved is that the injury must occur within the period of the employment, at a place where the employee may reasonably be, and while he is reasonably fulfilling the duties of his employment or engaged in doing something incidental to it.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“that he return to the place of business early the next morning, obtain a truck, and make two trips in behalf of his employer. Accordingly, he arose approximately an hour earlier, and was on his way to obtain the truck when he was struck down and killed at around 7:00 A.M. on the highway between his home and the employer's place of business. After reviewing at length numerous decisions both within and without Florida that dealt with the going and coming rule, we held that the death of that employee did arise out of and in the course of his employment.”
