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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a)(1) At the request of the plaintiff in a civil action seeking monetary relief for bodily injury, death or property damage, damages for delay shall be added to the amount of compensatory damages awarded against each defendant or additional defendant found to be liable to the plaintiff in the verdict of a jury, in the decision of the court in a nonjury trial or in the award of arbitrators appointed under section 7361 of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 7361, and shall become part of the verdict, decision or award.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In those cases, we held that a plaintiff may not be awarded delay damages pursuant to Rule 238 after the date the defendant’s insurer offers its policy limits if the trial court determines that due to the defendant’s indigency, the offer of the policy limits was the full amount available for payment of the plaintiffs claim and it was impossible for the defendant to have offered more.”
