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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under South Carolina workers compensation law, a claimant is entitled to compensation for a total disability resulting from a work-related injury. The term “disability” is defined as “incapacity because of injury to earn the wages that the employee was receiving at the time of the injury in the same or any other employment.” The fact that Orr’s pregnancy indirectly prolonged the period during which she was unemployable does not change the fact that her injury, not her pregnancy, rendered her unable to work.”
