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

1. “"[T]he purpose of the insuring agreement... as to vehicles not owned by the insured, is to provide coverage during the occasional or casual use of such vehicles, but to exclude coverage of the frequent, habitual or principal use of such vehicles which would substantially increase the risks of the insurer beyond those contemplated when the parties entered into the insurance contract.”

2. “D. The following provisions shall govern the issuance uninsured motorist coverage in this state.

3. ““In the case of an employer-employee relationship there are three principal situation possibilities: (1) the employer furnishes an automobile (either a specific vehicle or a motor pool from which a non-designated vehicle is regularly available) for the employee’s unlimited and unrestricted use; (2) the employer furnishes an automobile for the employee’s limited use (usually restricted to business purposes), and the accident occurs while the employee is in the scope of that limited use; or (3) the employer furnishes an automobile for the employee’s limited use, and the accident occurs while the employee is outside the scope of that limited use. “In the first two situations the ‘furnished for regular use’ exception clearly applies. The third situation, presented by this case, offers a more difficult question for consideration.””
