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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

In any civil action for wrongful death of injury to a person and whether arising out of breach of contract or tort, damages may be awarded by the trier of fact as follows: 1.
