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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`In order to establish a right to workmen's compensation for harm or disability claimed to have resulted from an accidental injury, it is necessary for the claimant to show by a preponderance of the evidence, medical or otherwise, not only that *Page 4 his injury arose out of and in the course of his employment, but that a direct and proximate causal relationship existed between his injury and his harm or disability.'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Despite its apparently straightforward language, R.C. 4123.519 has been the source of considerable discussion by [the Ohio Supreme Court] as well as by trial and appellate courts. 'Clear though the *** language [in R.C. 4123.519] may have seemed to the drafters thereof, the myriad complications of industrial injury, and legislative and administrative efforts to justly cope therewith, have resulted in diffuse efforts by litigants and courts to resolve ensuing conflicts and uncertainties.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The decision of the Industrial Commission as to 'extent of disability' constitutes a determination of the basis for the computation of the compensation or benefits payable under the provisions of the worker's compensation law ***. A determination of 'extent of disability' under R.C. 4123.519 presupposes that claimant has been allowed the 'right to participate' in the Workers' Compensation Fund ***.”
