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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “It is the rule in Kentucky that under K.R.S. § 454.040, separate damages may be assessed against each negligent tort-feasor, according to the degree of fault. See footnote 1 to Commonwealth, Dept. of Highways v. Ratliff, 392 S.W.2d 913, 914 (Ky.1965). It is also Kentucky’s rule that whether the damages shall be in gross or separate is left to the jury. Elpers v. Kimbel, 366 S.W.2d 157, 161 (1963); Murphy v. Taxicabs of Louisville, Inc., 330 S.W.2d 395, 398 (Ky.1959). In this case, the District Judge sitting without a jury committed no error in assessing the damages against the defendants jointly.”
