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.

Before the appellate court will disturb such an award, the record must clearly reveal that the trier of fact abused his much discretion in making the award, based upon the particular injuries and their effect upon the particular individual who sustained the injuries.”
