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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"LSA-R.S. 22:1406(D)(6) provides for the admissibility of sworn notarized affidavits as prima facie proof of uninsured status. No affidavits were offered in evidence in this case, but the statute does not mean that affidavits are the exclusive methods of proof. Absent such affidavits, plaintiffs may sustain their burden of proving the offending driver is uninsured by other evidence. We find no error in the trial judge's acceptance of the sworn and uncontradicted testimony of the owner-driver as proof there was no insurance on his car." (citations omitted) Similarly, in the present matter the only testimony concerning uninsured status was that of the owner and the driver of the car. Thus, we hold that under Launey this testimony was sufficient proof of the uninsured status of David W. Clark.”
