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.

  1. “it has become clear that an employee must at least prove he suffered unusual and abnormal strain 'before he can receive compensation for an “accident.” A long line of cases attests to this fact.-... Injuries produced by strains which are normal for the job to be performed in a customary fashion are not compensable although the amount of straining may be great or would be considered abnormal in other classes of employment.”

  2. ““ * * * This is a case in which the claimant’s testimony is undisputed and constitutes the only evidence relevant to the incident in question. There is no question of conflict, credibility or weight of the evidence. Thus whether the finding of the Commission was correct becomes a matter of law, and we are not bound by its result. * * * ” (Citing cases including McClain v. Yellow Cab Company, supra). (Emphasis supplied)”
