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 86 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant fails to realize, however, that the injured parties in the aforementioned cases were not fully compensated at the time they received them collateral benefits. The insured under those circumstances could recover proceeds in excess of the amount it recovered from its insurer either because there was a deductible amount that had not been paid by the insurance company and/or because the full amount of damages arising from the accident had not yet been determined when the insurer remitted payment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“There is no basis in law for [a plaintiff to institute a bad faith garnishment action against the defendant’s insurer] since [the insurer] does not owe money to [the plaintiff], nor does it have in its possession assets belonging to [the plaintiff]. [The insured] fulfilled its contractual obligation and paid the limits of its policy. There is therefore nothing in the hands of [the insurer] which is subject to garnishment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The collateral source rale provides that payments from a collateral source shall not diminish the damages otherwise recoverable from the wrongdoer. The principle behind the collateral source rale is that it is better for the wronged plaintiff to receive a potential windfall than for a tortfeasor to be relieved of responsibility for the wrong.”
