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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where it has been proved that damage has resulted and the only uncertainty is as to the exact amount, it is sufficient if the record shows ‘data from which the extent of the injury * * * can be ascertained with reasonable certainty * * *. Data for an exact calculation is not necessary.’ Osterling v. Frick, 284 Pa. 397, 404 , 131 A. 250, 252; 25 C. J. S., Damages, section 28.””
