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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To permit recovery for an injury, the jury must find the defendant was guilty of one or more of the negligent acts alleged and that the injurious result was reasonably foreseeable. Jenkins v. Electric Co., 254 N.C. 553 , 119 S.E. 2d 767 . Negligence is the failure to exercise proper care in the performance of a legal duty which the defendant owed the plaintiff under the circumstances surrounding them. Mattingly v. R. R., 253 N.C. 746 , 117 S.E. 2d 844 . The breach of duty may be by negligent act or a negligent failure to act. Williams v. Kirkman, 246 N.C. 510 , 98 S.E. 2d 922 .””
