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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Henceforth, as a result of our decision, an action for wrongful death brought by a trustee for the decedent’s heirs, and a negligence action by a survivor against the decedent’s estate, may be consolidated for trial since no instruction concerning statutory presumption of the decedent’s exercise of due care need be given. Where applicable, the common-law presumption shall be applied in lawsuits tried in Minnesota after the issuance date of this opinion.””
