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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It demonstrated that an accumulation of water, tar and other slippery substances in the passenger elevators was an ongoing problem which was known to the building management. Thus, there existed a jury question as to whether the landlord exercised reasonable care to guard against a foreseeable danger.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Appellees argue that [tenant's] recovery is barred because of her superior knowledge of the slippery condition of the hallway. We reject this argument for two reasons. First, whether [tenant] had superior knowledge is a question for the jury. Second, [ tenant's ] knowledge, if any, would present an issue of comparative negligence and would not bar her recovery. (Emphasis ours)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“This is a murky area of the law and hopefully one which will soon be resolved by the Florida Supreme Court.”
