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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Negligence per se is a term used when a duty of care is based upon a violation of specifically prescribed conduct required by a statute. 'When courts adopt the statutory standard for a cause of action for negligence...the violation of [the] statute constitutes negligence per se if the other elements of negligence are present.'”
