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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We hold that under the statutes providing workmen's compensation, as those statutes are currently written, the Industrial Board must provide a dismissal hearing at which time any claimant may present evidence of his eligibility. There are two important policy reasons for such a hearing. First, without a hearing, it is doubtful whether the claimant has been afforded due process of law. Second, proceedings before the Industrial Board are not grounded in formality; and the Industrial Board is not bound by the rules of civil procedure. Therefore, a dismissal based upon procedural deficiencies is antithetical to the Industrial Board's inherent fact-finding, thus substantive, purpose. The dismissal of Pedigo's elaim did not even attempt to address the evidentiary basis of his claim.”
