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.

1. “First, it is unclear what effect—if any— this policy's definition of "occurrence" would have under Florida law. Second, it is unclear whether in using the "cause theory," we should focus on Koikos's alleged negligence or on Bell's separate gunshots. Furthermore, decisions of other Florida courts are difficult to square with the court's approach in McQuaig. See, e.g., Southern Int'l Corp. v. Poly Urethane Indus., Inc., 353 So.2d 646 (Fla.Dist.Ct.App.1977) (holding that defective application of roof sealant to several buildings over the course of several days was a single occurrence).”

2. “.... b. This insurance applies to "bodily injury" ... only if: (1) The "bodily injury" ... is caused by an "occurrence" .... The policy then contains the following definition: "Occurrence" means an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions.”

3. “Bell fired in two separate—but nearly concurrent—rounds. Brian Armstrong and DeJuan Harris were each hit by a single bullet while standing in the lobby. In addition, three other guests were injured. The record indicates that the shots injuring Armstrong and Harris came from the first round of shots.”
