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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By a compromise settlement between parties to an automobile collision each party effectively ‘buys his peace’ respecting any liability created by the collision. The settlement constitutes an acknowledgment, as between the parties, of the liability, of the payor and the nonliability, or at least a waiver of the liability, of the payee.” [Citation omitted].”
