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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Upon any conceivable construction of the evidence, the plaintiff had ample and unobstructed opportunity to discover the defendant’s car in time to have avoided the injury. She could have discovered the oncoming car as soon as the defendant could have discovered her. If the defendant was guilty of negligence in not discovering plaintiff before she (he) did, the plaintiff was also guilty of negligence in not discovering the car of the defendant.””

Rehorst““It is not discoverable from the verdict in which one of the respects alleged the jury found the defendant negligent, or whether some thought she was negligent in one respect and some in another.
