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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An appellate court, when it believes that errors committed at trial influenced the jury verdict, must undertake an independent evaluation of the facts and adjudicate the controversy before it."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Although insurance was available to plaintiff under the uninsured motorist provisions of the State Farm Mutual policies, such insurance was not available to Mr. Bellow and Mrs. Gusse [the defendant tortfeasor and her father, who pleaded poverty] because the uninsured motorist insurer, if cast in judgment, would be entitled to indemnity from them. (Bracketed matter added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Under Louisiana law, a defendant can introduce evidence of his impecunious condition at the time of trial. Guy v. Tonglet, 379 So.2d 744 (La.1980). The ‘inability to pay’ rule dates back to Williams v. McManus, 38 La.Ann. 161 (1886) and Loyacano v. Jurgens [ 50 La. Ann. 441 ], 23 So. 717 (1898), and has been consistently applied to Louisiana courts ever since. The ability of the defendant to respond in damages is a proper subject in assessing damages.” Suhor v. Gusse, supra at 757.”
