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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Plaintiff] could not follow paths leading in opposite directions. He deliberately elected to plead: “That the receipt of the sum of $1,250.00 and the execution of said release was in compromise and settlement of a disputed claim and the execution of the aforesaid release constitutes a bar to the counterclaim now being asserted by defendant.” He has deliberately elected to ratify his insurance carrier’s settlement with defendant. He must, when he accepts the benefits of the settlement, bear its burdens.”
