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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The authorities are unanimous to the effect that when the damages are assessed before the taking, nothing can be included for wrongful or negligent acts upon the theory that they may occur, but the damages are limited to such as necessarily arise from a lawful taking and a proper construction and operation of the improvement, [citation omitted] The reason for the rule is that damages cannot be allowed for an injury which the law presumes will not be inflicted. No compensation based on such a presumption of negligence or wrongdoing could ever be tolerated by the law [citation omitted]; and ‘though consequential injuries may be anticipated and compensated, those originating from carelessness or neglect, as they cannot be foreseen, neither can the damages resulting from them be in advance measured or provided for.’ [citation omitted] But where the damages are assessed after the works are actually constructed, a different rule applies: ‘If the works are built before the assessment of damages is had, the damages should be assessed on the basis of the works as constructed, even if improperly constructed, for the condemnor should not be allowed to assert its .own wrong.’ [citation omitted]” 23 Ariz. at 150, 151 , 202 P. at 239 .”
