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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Dempcy's failure to probate Dr. Meyer's estate "had nothing to do" with Dr. Meyer's medical malpractice. Maryland Casualty's loss in defending and settling the medical malpractice lawsuits was not caused by Dempcy's alleged malpractice, but by Dr. Meyer's own negligence.”
