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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The burden of proof was upon the claimants to prove these elements beyond speculation and conjecture. Larson’s Workmen’s Compensation Law, Section 80.33, page 323, says: ‘ The burden of proving his case beyond speculation and conjecture is on'the claimant.’ In 100 C.J.S. Workmen’s Compensation, sec. 521(b), it is said: ‘Under statutes requiring that the injury be one which both arises out of, and is sustained in the course of employment, the burden is on the claimant to establish both elements.’ ””
