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.
““2. If a plaintiff has suffered a measurable or appreciable injury, or aggravation of an existing injury, the defendant is liable for all direct and proximate results and the plaintiff is not required to show a substantial aggravation of a pre-existing injury. “3. A concept of substantial injury is not appropriate in determining liability under negligence law, and an instruction to the jury using the term, ‘substantial,’ instead of the texm, ‘appreciable,’ is erroneous.””
