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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““~W.Va.Code, 55-7-9 [1923], recognizing a cause of action in tort for the violation of a statute, and W.Va.Code, 60-7-12 [1986], making it illegal for a licensee to sell alcohol to intoxicated persons, read together, create a tort action against a licensee for personal injuries caused by the licensee’s selling alcohol to anyone who is ‘physically incapacitated’ from drinking."”
