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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This evidence affords but one conclusion, and that is that [the defendant] suddenly turned into [the plaintiff's] lane of travel and was hit almost immediately. Even according to [the defendant], split-second timing was involved. In any event, the record does not afford a reasonable conclusion that [the plaintiff] had, if he were attentive and driving at a lawful rate of speed, the necessary time to avoid the collision. Such a conclusion could only be the result of conjecture.”
