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.

1. “Plaintiffs insist that as their insurance carrier was forced to become a party plaintiff to the action, justice demands their motion to make defendants' insurance carrier a party defendant should have been sustained. Plaintiffs overlook the fact that their policy is what is generally known as `collision' insurance, while defendants' policy covers what is known as `liability' insurance. Plaintiffs' insurance carrier had incurred liability and paid same, while defendants' insurance carrier would incur no liability until a judgment was rendered against them; therefore, it was not a real party in interest.”
