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.
““A jury might well conclude that the appellee driver had exercised that degree of care which the law exacts of him under these circumstances and that the sole proximate cause of the child’s injury was the conduct of the child in darting from his mother’s side and into the path of appellees’ approaching vehicle. Yet, this set of circumstances when viewed in their totality leave room for the trier of fact to conclude that the appellee driver failed to exercise the degree of care which the law required of him, resulting in the child’s injury.””
