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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ * * * when the testimony is offered by a non-treating-physician for evaluation and testifying purposes only, it must be based on some objective symptoms and not on subjective symptoms, such as peculiar motions of parts of the body that the so-called patient can pretend, whether real or feigned.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Permitting additional proof after counsel for parties have announced that proof is closed is within discretion of trial court, and unless it appears that his action in that regard has permitted injustice to be done to a party to suit, his exercise of discretion will not be disturbed on appeal.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““3. The Trial Court erred in overruling defendant’s motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was so excessive as to indicate passion, prejudice and caprice on the part of the jury, in view of the amount of special damages introduced and the medical testimony in the record.””
