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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Colson’s actions were prompt in its attempt to obtain another medical opinion upon which it could base a decision to either controvert or not controvert the .medical expenses and disability payments to be incurred due to Dr. Allen’s opinion. Colson assumed responsibility for Hamrick’s medical expenses and surgery six days after Dr. Rosensweig examined Ham-rick, confirming the extent of her injury. Again, the time and manner in which Colson acted was such that the Commission could find it to be reasonable.”
