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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Koppenheffer’s loss was not $528,100 ($600,000 judgment minus $71,900 payment from AEtna) as the district court concluded. If Koppenheffer had accepted Levier’s original settlement offer, he would have been personally hable for $28,100. It follows that AEtna’s failure to settle cost Koppenheffer $500,000. Since AEtna’s negligence resulted in the loss of $500,000 to its insured, that is the proper amount for the judgment in this case. The district court’s award of $528,100 in damages should therefore be modified to $500,000.” 19 Kan. App. 2d at 981 .”
