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 134 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“... under Ohio law, the statutory right of an employee to file an application for modification of an award is a substantive right which accrues at the time of the claimant’s injury. As such, worker’s compensation claims are unliquidated, noncontingent claims until such time as the claimant’s right to seek additional compensation lapses, and such claims may be estimated by the bankruptcy court under 11 U.S.C. § 502 (e)(1) for purposes of allowance.”
