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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]n applicant must be allowed to intervene if four requirements are met: 1) the application is timely; 2) the applicant has an interest in the subject matter of the dispute; 3) that interest is or may be inadequately represented; and 4) the applicant is or may be bound by a judgment in the action.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]f an insured is injured by an uninsured motorist, the insured may recover damages from his own insurance company upon showing that he is “legally entitled” to recover those damages from the uninsured tortfeasor. This showing of legal entitlement typically entails a lawsuit against the uninsured tortfeasor to litigate the issues of liability and damages. A judgment favorable to the insured fixes the insurer’s contractual duty to satisfy that judgment, within the policy limits.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“insurer must not be allowed to use against its insured any information whatsoever gained by reason of the insurer-insured relationship.”
