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 102 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 59-10-4(F): “ * * * Nothing in the Workmen’s Compensation Act, however, shall affect, or be construed to affect, in any way, the existence of, or the mode of trial of, any claim or cause of action which the workman has against any person other than his employer, or the insurer, guarantor or surety of his employer(Emphasis ours.) Section 59-10-25: “ * * * The right of any workman, or, in case of his death, of those entitled to receive payment or damages for injuries occasioned to him by the negligence or wrong of any person other than the employer as herein defined shall not be affected by this act' * * *, but he or they, as the case may be, shall not be allowed to receive payment or recover damages therefor and also claim compensation from such employer hereunder, and in such case the receipt of compensation from such employer hereunder shall operate as an assignment to the employer, his or its insurer, guarantor or surety, as the case may be * * (Emphasis ours.)”

Chapman“"* * * but he * * * shall not be allowed to receive payment or recover damages therefor and also claim compensation from such employer hereunder, and in such case the receipt of compensation * * * shall operate as an assignment to the employer * * of any cause of action, to the extent of the liability of such employer to such workman occasioned by such injury which the workman * * * may have against any other party for such injuries * * *."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Castro v. Bass““It is error to instruct on a proposition of law not supported by the evidence. Martin v. La Motte, 55 N.M. 579 , 237 P.2d 923 ; Thompson v. Anderman, 59 N.M. 400 , 285 P.2d 507 . We must assume that the jury considered the instruction and may have been misled to plaintiff’s prejudice.””
