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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Those benefits paid to the spouse for noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering, as well as payment for loss of future wages and future medical expenses, are separate property of the spouse. Any compensation paid, however, to a spouse for `lost wages or lost earning capacity during the marriage of the parties and medical expenses paid out of marital funds during the marriage' constitute marital property.”
