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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The evidence was conflicting as to the distance defendants’ bus was stopped from the ramp. The plaintiff’s age, stature and obvious physical limitations were matters discernible to the jury by observation. Whether a duty evolved from the circumstances shown to assist plaintiff in alighting from the bus, and whether defendant fulfilled such duty, presented questions determinable by the jury and not matters of law for the trial court. The trial court did not err in overruling defendants’ demurrer to the evidence and motion for directed verdict.”
