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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While the husband is primarily liable for the physicians’ bills and burial expenses of his deceased wife, he is only liable where the medical services were rendered or her death took place during his lifetime. Here, Mrs. Oster died and the medical services were rendered after Adam Oster’s death. It follows that there was no error in refusing to allow those claims against the estate of Adam Oster.””
