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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[o]nce a lump sum payment is authorized and received pursuant to § 440.20, a claimant has the option to invest the funds and offset the effects of inflation so that the purpose of supplemental benefits is satisfied.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“In case of permanent total disability resulting from injuries which occurred subsequent to June 30, 1955, and for which the liability of the employer for compensation has not been discharged under the provisions of s. 440.-20(12), the injured employee shall receive from the [Division of Workers’ Compensation] additional weekly compensation benefits equal to 5 percent of the injured employee's weekly compensation rate, as established pursuant to the law in effect on the date of his injury, multiplied by the number of calendar years since the date of injury and subject to the maximum weekly compensation rate set forth in s. 440.12(2). Such additional benefits shall be paid out of the Workers’ Compensation Administration Trust Fund. This applies to payments due after October 1, 1974. (e.s.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“By stipulation, approved by the deputy commissioner, the appellee/claimant and the employer/carrier agreed that the claimant would receive a lump sum advance of permanent total disability benefits. The then-present value of all benefits was calculated as $236,612.85. The claimant would receive 95% of these benefits, or $224,782.20, as a lump sum advance when the deputy approved the advance. Upon reaching age 65 in 1997, the claimant would receive the remaining 5% of the benefits, as calculated at the time of the initial advance, or $11,830.65. The stipulation stated that the advance did not discharge the e/c’s liability under the worker’s compensation law and that the e/c would remain liable and responsible for the remaining 5% of the total benefits. The agreement further provided that the advance would have no effect on the claimant’s continuing entitlement to supplemental benefits payable under Section 440.15(1)(e)1, Florida Statutes.”
