These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Subpart (a)] applies when a nonhazardous condition is made hazardous through the negligence of a person who changed its condition or caused it to be changed. Liability does not attach for failing to decrease the risk of harm. . . . [T]he mere failure to abate a hazardous condition — without making it worse — does not trigger the application of Section 324A (a). 20”
