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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[P]laintiff’s disability to her right hand is not, as such, a compensable injury under section 48-121 .... It is a fact condition which becomes material in applying the provisions of section 48-128 .... [T]he Legislature in section 48-128 . . . was not undertaking to provide compensation for a previous disability other than one caused by disease, as such, but rather was undertaking to provide compensation for permanent total disability resulting from a combination of the previous fact condition with a compensable injury.”
