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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The basic test is whether the wages paid subsequent to the injury were actually earned. The mere fact that the duties before and after the accident were similar or dissimilar, heavier or lighter, is relevant but not determinative of the issue. And whether the wages were actually earned is determined by the facts and circumstances of each particular case." Peck v. Orleans Levee Board, 353 So.2d 424, 426 (La.App. 4th Cir.1977); writ denied, 355 So.2d 259 (La.1978). Plaintiff admitted that although her doctor discharged her for light duty, she performed the same work as before and that she actually worked for the paycheck she received. Therefore, she did not receive wages in lieu of compensation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Our courts emphasize encouraging rather than penalizing an employee who continues to work despite an injury that, in legal contemplation, proves to be a disability. Plaintiff may or may not have been able to perform either light or regular duty after first reporting back to work, but her legal disability was not manifest until June 13, 1978, when her employer found her work too slow as a direct result of her work-related injury. (Citations omitted).”
