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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The Workers' Compensation Act does not direct the [Board] to determine whether the claimant has reasonable levels of functionality or a reasonable ability to perform basic work activities. Rather, it requires the [Board] to consider whether a claimant's ability to perform these activities is limited. Thus, evaluating whether a claimant retains a reasonable degree of physical and mental functionality notwithstanding a disability has no place in this analysis because the basic-work-activities analysis begins and ends with evaluating whether the claimant's disability negatively affects the ability to perform the basic work activities commonly required in employment.”
