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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Dupre represented to the state court in the workmen’s compensation settlement proceedings that there was a good faith dispute as to ... [his direct employer’s] workmen’s compensation liability and that dispute was to be settled. He did in fact enter into the settlement ... he negotiated for and received the best deal he could ... He cannot, under Louisiana law, recover workmen’s compensation benefits twice for the same injury, and cannot, therefore, maintain this action against ... [his statutory employer] to obtain double recovery. The fact that ... [Dupre] specifically reserved any and all rights against [his statutory employer] ... does not change the result.”
