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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * suffered serious and painful injuries. After she fell on the floor of defendant's store she was taken in an ambulance to Touro Infirmary. She suffered a fracture of the neck of the right femur, which required an open reduction, the use of pins to bring about union of the fractured parts. She was put in traction in the Touro Infirmary and remained in traction for three weeks. She remained in the hospital until December 5, when she was allowed to go home. "A calipher brace was placed on her leg before she left the hospital. This brace extended from her hip to her foot, and the record shows that she wore it for about five months. Plaintiff was under the care of her physician for over one year. Her injuries were attended with considerable pain and suffering."”
