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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Presently, if an employee brings a suit against a third-party tortfeasor for an injury that resulted in workers' compensation being paid, the employer/carrier is entitled to reimbursement for 100 percent of compensation benefits paid. The employer/carrier does not share in the cost of the attorney's fees incurred by the claimant. The bill deducts from the reimbursement to the employer/carrier its pro rata share of the court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the employee. "Pro rata share" is defined as an amount equal to the percentage of the judgment which are costs and attorney's fees.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“provide that the `carrier's lien' must be reduced by its pro rata share of attorney's fees and expenses incurred to effectuate a recovery against third-party tortfeasors.”
