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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"There is no dispute [plaintiff] suffered at least one physical assault where [supervisor] hit him along side of the head, causing [plaintiff's] glasses to fly off. Additionally, there are other alleged physical assaults consisting of [su pervisor] physically kicking [plaintiff] in the buttocks, [supervisor] kicking [plaintiff] so hard in the back of the legs that [plaintiff] was forced to the ground, and [supervisor] thumping [plaintiff] on the head. [Plaintiff] claims no physical injury, but that the assaults caused him mental distress. Such physical assaults place [plaintiff] in the physical-mental category. Thus, [plaintiff's] tort action filed against [the employer] is barred by the exclusive remedy provision of work-erg compensation."”
