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 71 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) The liability of an employer under this act shall be exclusive and in place of any and all other liability to such employes, his legal representative, husband or wife, parents, dependents, next of kin or anyone otherwise entitled to damages in any action at law or otherwise on account of any injury or death as defined in section 301(c)(1) and (2) or occupational disease as defined in section 108.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The appellant’s argument is an interesting one; but it is one that must be resolved by the General Assembly, not this Court. What he is asking us to do is to engraft upon section 303(a) of the Act [77 P.S. § 481(a) ] an exception the legislature did not see fit to put in.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“If disability or death is compensable under this act, a person shall not be liable to anyone at common law ... for any act or omission occurring while such person was in the same employ as the person disabled or killed except for intentional wrong.”
