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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n additional lump sum would benefit [the claimant] by reducing his monthly expenses at the present time. However, the fact that [the claimant’s] debts exceed his income does not require conversion of [his] weekly benefits into a lump sum settlement. Ruple v. Bob Peterson Logging Co. (1984), 209 Mont. 276, 281 , 679 P.2d 1252, 1254 .”
