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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““INSTRUCTION 7 “It is die duty of a nursing home to a resident to exercise such reasonable care as her condition may require. The degree of care depends upon the known physical and mental ailments of the resident. “In matters of medical or scientific nature, the standard of reasonable care of a nursing home is that degree of care, skill, and diligence used by nursing homes generally in the community, or in similar communities, under like circumstances.” “INSTRUCTION 13 “You shall determine the amount of damage sustained by . . . Bessie Moore. You should allow the amount of money which will reasonably compensate plaintiff for Bessie Moore’s injuries and losses resulting from die occurrences in question including any of the following shown in the evidence: pain, suffering, disabilities, or disfigurement, and any accompanying mental anguish suffered by Bessie Moore to the date of her death. “In determining the amount of damages you should consider Bessie Moore’s age, condition of health before and after, and the nature, extent and duration of die injuries. For such items as pain, suffering, disability, and mental anguish there is no unit value and no mathematical formula the court can give you. You should allow such sum as will fairly and adequately compensate plaintiff for the injuries to Bessie Moore. The amount to be allowed rests within your sound discretion.””
