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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]n employee whose work entails travel away from the employer's premises is within the course of his employment at all times during the trip other than where there is a distinct departure for a nonessential personal errand.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] traveling employee is deemed to be in the continuous conduct of his employer's business including those times when he is not actually at work but is engaged in ... normal and necessary [1] activities.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“All risks causing injury to a claimant can be brought within three categories: risks distinctly associated with the employment, risks personal to the claimant, and “neutral” risks — i.e., risks having no particular employment or personal character. Harms from the first are universally com-pensable. Those from the second are universally noncompensable. It is within the third category that most controversy in modern compensation law occurs. The view that the injury should be deemed to arise out of employment if the conditions of employment put claimant in a position to be injured by the neutral risk is gaining increased acceptance.”
