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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(e) In an action to recover for the death of a child, the plaintiff may recover damages: (1) for the loss of the child's services; (2) for the loss of the child's love and companionship; and (3) to pay the expenses of: (A) health care and hospitalization necessitated by the wrongful act or omission that caused the child's death; (B) the child's funeral and burial; (C) the reasonable expense of psychiatric and psychological counseling incurred by a surviving parent or minor sibling of the child that is required because of the death of the child; (D) uninsured debts of the child, including debts for which a parent is obligated on behalf of the child; and (E) the administration of the child's estate, including reasonable attorney's fees. (f) Damages may be awarded under this section only with respect to the period of time from the death of the child until: (1) the date that the child would have reached: (A) twenty (20) years of age; or (B) twenty-three (23) years of age if the child was enrolled in an institution of higher education or in a vocational school or program; or (2) the date of the child's last surviving parent's death; whichever first occurs. (g) Damages may be awarded under subsection (e)(2) only with respect to the period of time from the death of the child until the date of the child's last surviving parent's death.”
