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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Plaintiff argues this interpretation will prevent the Medical Malpractice Act from ever being constitutionally challenged, since the challenge would be foreclosed whenever the health care provider deposited his policy limits into the registry of the court. We disagree. A plaintiff is free to raise his challenge in his original petition and request damages in excess of the limit. Further, even if the money has been deposited, the plaintiff may simply not accept it and leave it in the registry of the court. [Emphasis added.]”
