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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence tends to show negligence on the part of both of the drivers, but the negligence of one or both of them, while it is a factor, is not the primary factor to consider. The main issue in this case is the proximate causation of the accident; for where there is an accident and one or both of the parties are negligent the issue of proximate causation is usually for the jury. Standridge v. Godsey, 189 Tenn. 522 , 226 S.W.2d 277 (1949); Thompson v. Jarrett, 44 Tenn.App. 513 , 315 S.W.2d 537 (1957); Colwell v. Jones, 48 Tenn.App. 353 , 346 S.W.2d 450 (1960); Chandler v. Nolen, 50 Tenn. App. 49 , 359 S.W.2d 591 (1961). It was, then, proper for the trial court to submit the consideration of proximate causation to the jury.” Barr v. Charley, 215 Tenn. 452 , 387 S.W.2d 617 .”
