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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The intent of the Alabama Legislature in adopting the exclusivity provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act was `to provide complete immunity to employers and limited immunity to officers, directors, agents, servants or employees of the same employer . . . from civil liability for all causes of action except those based on willful conduct.' § 25-5-14 . The Legislature added: `[S]uch immunity is an essential aspect of the workers' compensation scheme. The legislature hereby expressly reaffirms its intent, as set forth in section 25-5-53 , as amended herein, and sections 25-5-144 and 25-5-194 , regarding the exclusivity of the rights and remedies of an injured employee, except as provided herein.' Section 25-5-14 ."”
