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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Instruction No. 16 (Defendant’s Proposed Instruction No. 13) Every person is responsible for the negligent injury to the person or property of another. Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care. Negligence may consist of action or inaction. A person is negligent if that person fails to act as an ordinarily careful person would act under the circumstances. Instruction No. 18 (Plaintiffs Proposed Instruction No. 12) The amount of caution required of a person in the exercise of ordinary care depends upon the conditions apparent to him or that should be apparent to a reasonably prudent person under circumstances similar to those shown by the evidence.”
