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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The New Jersey Legislature has created a "comprehensive statutory system, which is designed to have `financially responsible persons available to meet the claims of persons wrongfully injured in automobile accidents.'" We have described this comprehensive statutory scheme as providing an "adequate safety net for individuals hurt in such cases...." Putting aside for the moment the consideration of Samuel's own negligence, we are certain that the Legislature would intend that Samuel land somewhere in that safety net.”
