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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It seems to us apparent that the jury made no award for any hospital, medical, dental, or nursing expenses to be incurred in the future, and thérefore that part of instruction No. 12, “or is reasonably certain to be compelled reasonably and necessarily to incur in the future as a proximate result of this accident,” was not prejudicial, even if it be conceded that the testimony did not warrant the giving of an instruction relative to future expense.”
