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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In case of personal injury ... all claims for payments shall be forever barred unless within one year after the accident ... the parties have agreed upon the payments to be made under this Chapter, or unless within one year after the accident a formal claim has been filed as provided in Subsection B of this section and [footnote omitted] in this Chapter. Where such payments have been made in any case, the | ¡¿imitation shall not take effect until the expiration of one year from the time of making the last payment, except that in cases of benefits payable pursuant to R.S. 23:1221(3) this limitation shall not take effect until three years from the time of making the last payment of benefits pursuant to R.S. 23:1221(1), (2), (3), or (4). Also, when the injury does not result at the time of, or develop immediately after the accident, the limitation shall not take effect until expiration of one year from the time the injury develops, but in all such eases the'claim for payment shall be forever barred unless the proceedings have been begun within two years from the date of the accident.”

2. “(1) where there was some legal cause which prevented the courts or their officers from taking cognizance of or acting • on the plaintiffs action; (2) where there was some condition coupled with a contract-or connected with the proceedings which prevented the creditor from suing or acting; (3) where the debtor himself has done some act effectually to prevent the creditor from availing himself of his cause of action;' and (4) wheré some cause of action is not known or reasonably knowable by the plaintiff, even though his ignorance is not induced by the defendant;”

3. “A statement by the employer’s representative that the employee has no valid claim is entirely different from one that the employee will be taken care of (as in Landry v. Ferguson, La., 279 So.2d 185 (1973)) or one that compensation will be paid without suit. The latter statements to the employee indicate that the employer has recognized the claim, and an employee alleging late filing on account of such statements would assert a cause of action to stop the employer from pleading prescription. However, a statement by an employer’s representative that the employee has no valid claim is the equivalent of the employer’s denial of the claim. Such a statement would serve to notify the employee that he cannot rely on receiving .compensation without suit and that he must seek legal advice or pursue his claim otherwise that through amicable settlement with the employer.”
