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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In conclusion, we hold, as a matter of public policy, the minimum limits automobile liability insurance policy involved in this case was not defeated or voided by [the insured’s] failure to comply with policy notice provisions after the accident resulting in [the victim’s] injuries, because the coverage was mandated by the legislature to protect innocent third parties____”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Furthermore, it appears to us that to allow the insured’s failure to give notice of the accident to prevent the injured person’s recovery would be to practically nullify the statute by making the enforcement of the rights of the person intended to be protected dependent upon the acts of the very person who caused the injury.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[I]n accordance with the public purpose of protecting innocent third parties through mandatory insurance, [the insured's] violation of a provision of the policy providing this mandatory minimal coverage did not defeat or void that coverage.”
