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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Under this doctrine, a defendant motorist is liable for injury to a plaintiff, despite any contributory negligence on the latter's part, if an accident occurs when (1) the plaintiff was previously in a position of peril, of which he was either apparently unaware or else from which he could not extricate himself, (2) the defendant discovered, or could reasonably have observed, the plaintiff's danger and (3) thereafter, could have reasonably avoided the accident. See Belshe v. Gant, 235 La. 17 , 102 So.2d 477 ; Jackson v. Cook, 189 La. 860 , 181 So. 195 ; Rottman v. Beverly, 183 La. 947 , 165 So. 153 ; Venero v. State Farm Mutual Auto Ins. Co., La.App. 3rd Cir., 196 So.2d 841 ."”
