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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The award, affirmed en banc, was based on injuries sustained by claimant in a highway accident that occurred while claimant traveled from his home in Norman to Woodward, Oklahoma, to report for his first day on the job as an employee of Fluor. The first prerequisite to jurisdiction of the State Industrial Court to award compensation is a showing that claimant was, at the time of his injury, an employee of the respondent. The general rule is that an employer is not responsible for injuries sustained by an employee in traveling to his place of work. Exceptions to this rule may be found if the employer is furnishing the transportation or paying traveling expenses. Highway accidents may also be covered if the employment requires the claimant in the performance of his work to be upon the highways.”
