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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The jury having found that plaintiff was injured from the 1975 accident, the defendant was liable for the consequences thereof. . . . The fact of injury in December, 1975 and the nature of that injury having been established, there was no substantial evidence that related plaintiff’s pain to the earlier injury to the same disc. Thus the interrogatory awarding ‘$0’ damages for pain and suffering cannot be reconciled with [the] interrogatory .. . finding that defendant negligently caused injury to plaintiff.”
