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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

(Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“entirely prepared by the insurer and sold to buyers who rarely have the time or the ability to fully understand its complicated provisions. This inequality between the parties to the insurance contract, combined with the fact that insurance is considered a necessity by most people, creates a relationship of special trust and confidence between the insurer and the insured.”
