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.

1. ““ ‘The rule is well established that a verdict or a finding of a jury will not be set aside or disturbed, “if there is any credible evidence which under any reasonable view fairly admits of an inference that supports the jury’s finding.” Van Galder v. Snyder (1948), 254 Wis. 120, 123 , 35 N.W.2d 187 . “The familiar rule, often declared by this court, that where there is credible evidence to support a finding of a jury we may not disturb it, needs no citation of authorities.” Mossak v. Pfost (1950), 258 Wis. 73, 75 , 44 N.W.2d 922 . It should be further pointed out, “on review this court must accept the credible evidence most favorable to sustain the verdict.” Dickman v. Schaeffer [(1960), 10 Wis.2d 610, 613 , 103 N.W.2d 922 .]’””

2. ““While the proof is not documented, it does stand un-contradicted. Certainly, the reasonable cost of a bookkeeper and the amount of salary paid to the extra man attributable to work on new projects would have to be subtracted from the wage loss and out-of-pocket expense. Respondents did not attempt to prove these offsets but maintain only that appellant has not proved any wage loss to a reasonable certainty.” (p. 505.)”
