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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"in order to recover for negligent infliction of emotional distress, a party must (1) be a close relative of the victim, (2) he present at the scene of the accident and be aware that the victim is being injured, and (3) as a result of experiencing the accident, suffer serious emotional injury that is accompanied by physical symptomatology.” As defense counsel noted, this case has no application to Donna’s challenged testimony because her testimony at that time did not concern a claim of negligent infliction of emotional distress. It is interesting, however, that the parents of the injured child in Marchetti had also sought compensation for their own lost wages.”
