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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It must be emphasized that in Professional Office Bldgs., we discussed the use of waiver of an insurer's right to contest coverage to remedy "an improper refusal to defend" on the liability issue when the coverage issue was later raised. To apply the same remedy where a trial court has followed the supreme court's recommended bifurcation procedure of first conducting a trial on the coverage issue undermines the public policy goals stressed in [the cases].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]f an insurer is granted a bifurcated trial under [Wis. Stat.] § 803.04(2)(b) [(1985-1986)], . . . an insurer's duties to its insured should not be suspended pending the outcome of the coverage trial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“in line, with the insured's reasonable expectation of protection.”
