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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Although certain rules and procedures are construed liberally in favor of a claimant in a workmen's compensation action and his testimony may be entitled to more weight on some issues than is normally the case, it must be supported and corroborated by the surrounding facts and circumstances. The burden of proof by a preponderance of evidence is not relaxed in his favor and remains the same as it is in other civil cases. . . . This burden of proof clearly includes the element of causation."”
