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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"(1) The trial judge must determine as a matter of law that the statute was enacted to protect a class of persons which includes the litigant seeking to assert the statute. "(2) The trial judge must find the injury was of a type contemplated by the statute. . . . "(3) The party charged with negligent conduct must have violated the statute. "(4) The jury must find the statutory violation proximately caused the injury." (Citations omitted.)”
