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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Statues[Statutes] of limitations specifically for malpractice suits have been shortened, where none existed they have been enacted, and the discovery rule has been sharply curtailed. The most common approach, instituted in nine states,[ [6] ] is reflected in the Louisiana provision. A fixed prescriptive period of short duration (1 year in Louisiana) begins to run upon discovery of injury. Superimposed upon this, however, is a peremptive period of three years from the date of the tort, after which the suit is barred regardless of when discovered.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"No action for damages for injury or death against any physician ... arising out of patient care ... shall be brought unless filed within one year from the date of the alleged act, omission or neglect, or within one year from the date of discovery of the alleged act, omission or neglect; provided, however, ... in all events such claims must be filed at the latest within a period of three years from the date of the alleged act, omission or neglect."”
