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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The phrase "self-insurance” means, generally, the assumption of one's own risk and, typically, involves the setting aside of a special fund to meet losses and pay valid claims, instead of insuring against such losses and claims through an insurance policy. Under the law of this State, a foreign commercial trucking corporation, which has been granted authority by the West Virginia ,i Public Service Commission to self-insure under W.Va.Code, 24A-5-5(g) [1961], must afford, as a self-insurer, the same coverage under the West Virginia motor vehicle omnibus clause statutes, W.Va.Code, 33-6-31(a) [1982], and W.Va.Code, 17D-4-12(b)(2) [1991], for the protection of the public, as would a liability insurance contract.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We think it was the intention of the [South Carolina] Legislature that a self-insurer provide the same protection to the public that a statutory liability policy provides. A self-insurer substitutes for an insurance policy to the extent of the statutory policy requirements.... Id. at 530, citing Southern Home Ins. Co. v. Burdette’s Leasing Serv., Inc., 268 S.C. 472 , 234 S.E.2d 870, 872 (S.C.1977).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In essence, the PSC granted BTI, as a self-insured entity, permission to carry bodily injury liability insurance in the amount of $14,500,000 (with its excess liability carrier) and $500,000 in primary self-insurance for total coverage in the amount of $15,000,000.”
