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.
“Although a defendant is guilty of negligence, “this does not absolve the pedestrian from looking while crossing the street, which is what any ordinarily prudent person should do when crossing the street at a busy intersection. Maintaining one’s right-of-way in the face of obvious danger ... may ultimately result in disaster.” Day v. Troyer, 341 Mich. 189, 197 , 67 N.W.2d 74 (Mich.1954).”
