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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff has been engaged in the business of operating a taxicab for about six years. He operated the cab himself during the daylight hours, and at night rented it to another driver and received rental of $5 per night. The automobile, while being repaired, was out of operation for a period of seven days, and plaintiff lost the night rental for that period, besides his earnings, which he testified were from $8 to $10 per day, from his own operation of the cab.”
