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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order for the question of wanton misconduct to be a jury question ... it [is] necessary to establish that the [tortfeasor] had knowledge of sufficient facts to cause a reasonable person to realize the perilous position of [the plaintiff] for a sufficient period of time before the accident to give him a reasonable opportunity to take means to avoid the collision and, despite this knowledge, he manifested a reckless disregard of the existing danger and peril.” Id. at 142 , 209 A.2d at 428 .”
