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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Fund is a creature of the legislature designed only to satisfy settlements and/or judgments against health care providers in excess of $100,000.00.... It can have no greater status than given it by its creator (the Legislature). Since the Fund is neither a co-obligor with the health care provider, nor its insurer, then it is not a party defendant.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he fund has the right to intervene in the case of an excess judgment against the fund. Felix, [supra]. * * * When the insurer has admitted liability up to the statutory maximum, the liability of the health care provider is established, and the only remaining issue is the damages, if any, owed by the patient's compensation fund. The fund cannot contest liability when there is a binding settlement for $100,000 by the health care provider, either before or after trial.”
