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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Courts are to liberally construe the act: The compensation statute, with its amendments, was designed to cover all employees who might reasonably be brought under its paternalistic protection. In [ Dick v. Gravel Logging Company, 152 La. 993 , 95 So. 99 (1922)], the court said that the statute is humane in its purpose and that its scope should be enlarged and its provisions liberally construed so as to include all services that can reasonably be said to be within the said statute. If it is to be liberally construed so as to include all possible persons when they seek its protection, surely it would not do to say that the provisions of the statute should be restricted when persons, in order to recover in tort, are attempting to have themselves excluded from the coverage of the statute. Spanja v. Thibodeaux [Thibodaux] Boiler Works, 2 So.2d 668, 672 (La.App.Orl.1941).”
