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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The statutes provide an understanding of the kinds of dangerous conditions against which the legislature intended to protect the public. They are expressed as such things as ‘excavations or roadway obstructions.’ Under the ejusdem generis rule, we are to construe ‘special defect' to include those defects of the same kind or class as the ones expressly mentioned. [Citing authorities.] The two examples that are included in the statute are not exclusive and do not exhaust the class. One characteristic of the class that should be considered is the size of the dangerous condition. The hole in the highway in this instance had reached the proportions of a ditch across the highway.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(a) If a claim arises from a premise defect, the governmental unit owes to the claimant only the duty that a private person owes to a licensee on private property, unless the claimant pays for the use of the premises. (b) The limitation of duty in this section does not apply to the duty to warn of special defects such as excavations or obstructions on highways, roads, or streets, or to the duty to warn of the absence, condition, or malfunction of traffic signs, signals, or warning devices as is required by Section 101.060.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If the case involves a regular premise defect, the defendant is held to a lesser duty of care the duty of a licensor as opposed to an ordinary negligence duty.”
