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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n insurer's failure to respond to a claim [as required by ORS 656.262(6) ] is neither acceptance [n]or denial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"an insurer's silence regarding one aspect of a claim is neither acceptance nor denial of that aspect of the claim. Silence is neutral. One could argue that if an insurer's silence regarding a condition implies anything, it would imply denial, not acceptance." Johnson v. Spectra Physics, supra, 303 Or. at 55 , 733 P.2d 1367 .”
