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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As between [the workers’ compensation carrier] and the [insurance-guaranty] Fund, ‘the loss must be absorbed by the workmen’s compensation insurer.’ In other words, ‘the design of the Fund [is] to indemnify injured persons, but not the insurance industry.’ [The workers’ compensation carrier’s argument that the necessary avoidance of double recovery by the employee requires judgment in its favor comes to nothing.””
