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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although we have not considered a claim under Ch. 25A based on a fellow prisoner’s assault during confinement in a state institution, we have held the Iowa Tort Claims Act permits an action by a prisoner injured by the state’s negligence. McBroom v. State, 226 N.W.2d 41, 44 (Iowa 1975). The same rule applies when the state negligently permits one in its custody to be injured by the violent assault of another prisoner. Of course, the state is not an insurer of the prisoner’s safety, but it must exercise reasonable care to protect him from harm.”
