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 Courts have repeatedly held that a person who holds himself out as skilled in any art, trade or profession is primarily liable for any damage to persons who place themselves or their belongings in his charge, since they are justified in relying on the skill which he holds himself out as possessing. The expert has an obligation to warn of any incidental danger of which he is cognizant due to the particular knowledge of his specialty. Mixon v. Brechtel, La.App., 174 So. 283 , American Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Company v. United Gas Corporation, La.App., 159 So.2d 592 ."”
