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.

  1. “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.”
