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.
““We conclude that the trial court correctly interpreted the law of Arkansas and that the appellant Kelsie Tollett’s claim must fall with that of his wife. It may be noted that this comports with the decisions of other jurisdictions that the husband’s right to special damages for medical expenses or loss of consortium is derivative and depends upon the wife’s successful suit for damages.””
