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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is settled law in this state that, when a minor receives personal injuries proximately caused by the actionable negligence of another, a cause of action at once arises in favor of the injured minor for the damages resulting by reason of the injuries received.... It is also the settled law of this state that, on the infliction of a wrongful injury on a minor, a cause of action at once arises in favor of the parents to recover the damages suffered by them by reason of such injury.”
