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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"(1) the existence of an attorney-client relationship creating a duty of care by the defendant attorney, (2) the breach of that duty by the defendant, and 3) proximate causation of the damages claimed by the plaintiff.” Jerista v, Murray, 185 N.J. 175 , 883 A.2d 350, 359 (2005) (quoting McGrogan v. Till, 167 N.J. 414 , 771 A.2d 1187, 1193 (2001)) (quotation marks omitted).”

2. “[a]n automatic door may be a highly sophisticated piece of machinery, but it probably does not close on an innocent patron causing injury unless the premises' owner negligently maintained it. That conclusion can be reached based on common knowledge without resort to expert testimony. A jury does not need an expert to tell it what it already knows. If the premises' owner, who has exclusive control over the automatic door, has proof that he is not to blame and that another is at fault, he must come forward to rebut the inference. [ Id. at 197 , 883 A.2d 350 .]”

3. “(a) the occurrence itself ordinarily bespeaks negligence; (b) the instrumentality was within the defendant's * exclusive control; and (c) there is no indication in the circumstances that the injury was the result of the plaintiff's own voluntary act or neglect.”
