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.

1. ““[T]he release of the tortfeasor by the injured victim served only to release the preferential claim of the injured victim against the tortfeasor and her insurer and had no effect on the rights of [the uninsured motorist carrier] to seek recovery from the tortfeasor for payments made to the injured victim on its behalf. “[S]ubrogation took place by operation of law in favor of [the uninsured motorist carrier] and against the tortfeasor immediately upon making its payment to the [victim] because it was mandatorily required to provide the uninsured and underinsured coverage under the provisions of LSA-R.S. 22-1406(D)(l)(a), hence, [the uninsured motorist carrier] has a legal subrogation against the tort-feasor * * * [W]e interpret the right of reimbursement granted by the insurance code [LSA-R.S. 1406(D)(4) ] to be a direct right independent of the victim’s right and, therefore, not affected by a release of the tortfeasor by the victim * * * ””
